Spain 4 Italy 0: Silva, Alba, Torres and Mata the heroes as La Roja create history in Kiev


Before the game Gianluca Vialli had compared Prandelli to  ‘Galileo’, calling him a ‘visionary’. He has proved himself an excellent manager, making Italy a more attacking side and making a game of this final. But last night even he would have conceded that the visionaries were wearing red.

They are so good in everything they do. Defensively as well as offensively. When Italy had the ball, red shirts would swarm around the man in possession. When Italy threatened, Iker Casillas, Gerard Pique and Sergio Ramos were equal to whatever came their way.
