Summary of the quarter-finals:

Football fans testified both teams against Belgium on Friday. The Azzurri did very well in the quarter-final first half, going at the break at 2-1 and then defending themselves with their lives to secure a place in the semifinals.

Nicolo Barella put Italy ahead and Lorenzo Insigne doubled Belgium's lead before Romelu Lukaku halved the penalty from the spot in the first injury time. The Red Devils snorted and snorted but were unable to break down Italy's wall after the interval.

For Spain, they were pushed into extra time for the second straight match against Switzerland as they struggled to assert their numerical advantage in Russia.

Yann Sommer was in top form among the Swiss clubs, but Spain didn't spare themselves when Roja's debauchery reared its ugly head again. In the end, it was Denis Zakaria's own goal against Spain to take the lead in the first half, only for a defensive mistake that allowed Xherdan Shaqiri to equalize in the middle of the second half. 

Dani Olmo, Gerard Moreno, and Mikel Oyarzabal then scored their penalties to organize a semi-final with Italy.

Team news:

Italy's main absence comes from left-back after Leonardo Spinazzola sustained an Achilles tendon injury on Friday's 2-1 win over Belgium.

The Roma star was exceptional for the Azzurri this summer and his absence is a serious blow for Roberto Mancini's team. Emerson, who recorded more playing time at Euro 2020 (100 minutes) than last season in the Premier League (89 minutes), is expected to replace.

Lorenzo Pellegrini is also missing, while Alessandro Florenzi is in doubt. Federico Chiesa could keep his place on the right, while Andrea Belotti is an option after Ciro Immobile's below-average performance against Belgium.

Pablo Sarabia is in doubt after suffering a hamstring strain against Switzerland that forced him out at half-time in Spain's eventual victory on penalties. Dani Olmo should be placed on the left wing. Luis Enrique could also trust Pau Torres in the center of defense alongside Aymeric Laporte, although Eric Garcia is pushing for a return.
