If it wasn't for David de Gea Spain would be well and truly out of this contest.

This is a chance to maybe win it. The ball is played forward, Graziano Pelle flicks it on, and Eder is through, one-on-one. Guess who stops him? That man David de Gea. Very good save again.

So often David Silva gets into those great positions and he's so unselfish. Do it yourself, get a shot off.

Spain are on top here and waste a chance to shoot on the edge of the box. Thiago Motta is coming on for Daniele de Rossi, who looks like he might have a knock. Motta is an able replacement, though. 

Watched him for Paris St-Germain this season, and I'm not sure he put a foot wrong in a whole game.

Spain are playing like they have had a ticking off at half-time. Cesc Fabregas, who delivered the ball to Alvaro Morata's earlier chance, then shoots from 25 yards but it's well wide. 

Spain come again and Alvaro Morato wins another free-kick on the corner of the penalty area on the left side. The cross is headed clear by Giorgio Chiellini. Who else?

Daniele de Rossi heads it up to concede a corner, and when it's delivered to Alvaro Morata, he is free six yards out but heads straight at Gigi Buffon. What a miss. 

Juanfran plays a decent one-two with David Silva down the right, attempts to cross but his effort is handballed by Leonardo Bonucci. Free-kick in a dangerous position.

I'm not sure that was the change I thought was going to happen. Will Alvaro Morata go to that left-hand side where Nolito was?

You cannot call Italy a solely counter attacking team, they are full on, and here they come again. Alessandro Florenzi, who has been brilliant, gets to the right byline and crosses low but Gerard Pique pokes away for a corner. Sergio Ramos then clears despite the ball bouncing in the six-yard area. 

Spain make a change as Aritz Aduriz comes on for Nolito, who has been on the margins. Italy get us under way. 

Some would say David de Gea has kept Spain in this game, he made another world class save just before half-time. If you missed it watch it again here.

I have never seen a Spain team like that before. It was almost unfair at times. What Italy is doing right now - it's how you should play a team like Spain. They have the tactics down to a tee.

The comparative touch map tells a story. Look at how many touches Italy have had in the opposition penalty box (left) compared to Spain, but then look at how many defensive touches Spain have had in their own box too (right). Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique have been busy, with Pique looking knackered at times. That's not something you see very often.

I am enjoying this Italian performance as much as I did seeing Eden Hazard play for Belgium last night. They keep the spaces tight and are aggressive at the right time. They haven't made any mistakes so far.

Which is Italy and which is Spain? I can't believe it. Sometimes Italy are defending the territory and sometimes pushing up the pitch. Spain have been lethargic and a bit confused.

A huge roar for Italy at the whistle - deservedly so.

They have swarmed all over a team that looks way pasts its prime. It is almost like watching a boxer with too many rounds in the legs. Sad to see.

Heated words between several Italians as they walked off. It is just so obvious they want this so much.

Without David de Gea this match would probably be over.

The 3-5-2 system works wonderfully when you have the right players to build it on. Width from the wing-backs, three rock solid defenders and two up front to cause havoc. What's not to like? 

"This is how you should play a team like Spain," says Thierry Henry.
