DONNARUMMA Stellar
The PSG goalkeeper kept Italy at bay in the first half with several brilliant saves and, after conceding an unlucky goal, avoided a defeat.
DI LORENZO Overflowing
The Naples full-back did his best but couldn’t stop a released Nico Williams or Ayoze.
BATONI deserves it
The veteran Inter centre-back saved balls and kept his composure at all times despite the avalanche of Spanish attacks.
CALAFIORI Bad luck
The young Bologna centre-back managed to control Morata but his performance would be marked by an own goal.
DIMARCO Demanded
Skilled in attack, he had to dance with Lamine Yamal and was unable to play his usual game.
BARELLA Helmsman
He showed his class in dribs and drabs under intense Spanish pressure but always tried to play with judgment.
JORGINHO Outclassed
He hardly distributed the game as usual and at half-time Spalletti left him in the dugout.
FRATTESI Battler
The Inter midfielder stood up for his fight on the right wing and did not hesitate to enter the fight. He was also replaced at half-time.
PELLEGRINI Be careful
He played on the left but played little and could not connect in attack.
CHIESA Not smart
He never stopped fighting but without reward as he barely troubled the Spanish defense.
SCAMACCA Not Helped
He tried to make a living at the top of the attack but received several balls.
CHRISTIAN Resource
He relieved Jorginho at half-time and from his boot came the only Italian chance with a cross that Retegui narrowly missed.
CHANGE Powerless
The Juventus player came on in the second half for Frattesi to try to stop Nico Williams but he failed.
ZACCAGNI Neutral
Replacing Chiesa, he failed to boost Italy’s offensive game.
RETEGUI Intimidator
His introduction in place of Scamacca gave height to the Italian attack, but his intimidating presence translated only into a ball he barely got.
RASPADORI No relation
He came on at the end for Pellegrini, who barely had time to come up with risky options in search of a tie.
