UEFA Champions League: Here are the group matches list
Italy, trailed by two goals at halftime, had to play the entire second half with ten men after captain Leonardo Bonucci was sent out, but they fought valiantly to prevent their first loss since a 2-0 loss to Portugal in September 2018.

Gavi, a 17-year-old Barcelona midfielder, made his international debut for Spain, making him the youngest player in the country’s history – less than six weeks after making his club debut – and he seemed at ease on the big stage.
Although the Nations League is a relatively young tournament, it was contested with the talent and intensity of any World Cup or European Championship match when both teams had 11 players.
Torres demonstrates his significance to Spain:
In the last year or two, Torres has established himself as one of Spain’s top players. Since September 1, 2020, he has scored 11 international goals. No one else has gotten more than five points.
He’s also a goal scorer, as six of his previous seven shots on target for Spain have resulted in goals. In this game, he only had two shots.
His first goal was a beautiful volley from a tough height, followed by a header back across goal, both from Oyarzabal deliveries into the box. Italy will face the losers of Thursday’s game between Belgium and France at Juventus’ stadium in Sunday’s third-place play-off at the same venue (14:00 BST).
