Juventus defender Bonucci: Italy clash with Spain will be battle until the end

Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci says Italy will be ready for Spain in their Euro 2020 semifinal.

Italy face Spain on the back of victory over Belgium.

“We knew Belgium's quality, especially in attack and the danger they posed to us on the counter," Bonucci told RAI Sport.

“We went 2-0 up and were dominating the game, then they got back into it with a dubious penalty, we did really well to hold on and showed once again how important the heart of this Italy side and of the Italians is.

“Now we can keep dreaming with our feet on the ground. Spain are a great team, but we started this tournament with a dream in our hearts, let's keep it there until the end," continued Bonucci.

“There are two matches to go, the most difficult will be against Spain, who play similar to Belgium. They again looked as if they might not make it, but they got back on their feet, so it'll be a battle to the end."
