Boring? No chance! Spain and Italy gear up for Euro final as Del Bosque promises 'three attackers'c
Dilemma: Will Cesc Fabregas start for Spain

Del Bosque must decide whether to include former Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas, who is one of those who has been used in an offensive role during the current tournament.
Andres Iniesta, whose extra-time goal defeated Holland in the World Cup final, is another, with Del Bosque seemingly intent on filling his midfield rather than take the bold step of including Athletic Bilbao's Fernando Llorente, who proved so troublesome for Manchester United in two meetings last season.

'We will play with three attackers that's for sure,' said Del Bosque.

'There will be three men in the front who are going to be responsible for attacking. Each member of the team has his own mission.'
