Italy versus Spain: Some Interesting Facts

In my view, the clash between Spain and Italy in the Grand Final of Euro 2012 presents us with some interesting facts:

1. Both were from the same group, group C.
2. Both have the world-class goalkeepers, Gianluigi Buffon (Italy) and Iker Casillas (Spain). This is the place to prove themselves.
3. Italy won 8 times, Spain 7 and draws 11 from their 26 clashes.
4. Score scandal rumors may motivate Italy to win, like they have done in 2006 World Cup.
5. Both have a Premier League striker, Mario Balotelli (Italy) playing for Manchester City, and Fernando Torres (Spain) for Chelsea.
