- This is the 11th match between Spain and Italy in major international tournaments (8 EURO matches, 3 World Cup matches), a record between two European teams. In addition, there is another record when this is the 5th consecutive EURO that Azzurri faces La Roja, since 2008.
- Excluding penalties, Italy have only lost one of their 10 games against Spain at the EURO and World Cup (W4 D5). That was the EURO 2012 final, when La Roja won 4-0.
- Spain won their last two matches against Italy, both in the Nations League. Historically, La Roja have never won three consecutive matches against the Azzurri.
- Spain have won all three of their previous meetings with the reigning European champions. On each occasion, they have reached the final: 2-1 against the Soviet Union in 1964, 1-0 against West Germany in 1984 and 2-1 against Greece in 2008.
- Italy are unbeaten in their last 10 EURO matches (7 wins, 3 draws). The first match of this series was a 2-0 victory over Spain at EURO 2016. The Azzurri's last defeat in the tournament was against Ireland, in the final round of the 2016 group stage, when the team had already qualified.
- Spain have lost just one of their 11 games under Luis de la Fuente (W9 D1), winning their last seven.
- Since the Nations League semi-final against Spain in June 2023, Italy have lost just one of their last 12 matches in all competitions (W8 D3). That defeat came against England in the EURO 2024 qualifiers.
