2-1！ A night of excitement in football! The quadruple World Cup winner fell and the triple European Cup champion reached the final

The semi-finals of the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League are underway, with Croatia scoring a goal battle with the Netherlands in the first semi-final, but Croatia scored twice in extra time to advance to the final with a 4-2 victory over the Netherlands. The other semi-final was pitted between two former World Cup champions, with Matador Spain meeting the Blues Italy, who advanced to the final after eliminating Italy in the semi-finals of the last UEFA Nations League.

After the World Cup in Qatar, coach Luis Enrique chose to leave the Matador manager's position, De La Fuente took over the position, Spain lost to Morocco in the 1/8 final of the World Cup in Qatar, and after the World Cup, Spain faced a replacement of old and new. De La Fuente's team has only won 1 win and 1 loss in the two European Cup qualifiers, and the team's tactical play needs to be honed.

Spain reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League for two consecutive years, and in this UEFA Nations League, Spain was in the same group as Portugal, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, and finally finished first in the group with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat, with 11 points and 11 points to advance to the group, scoring 8 goals and conceding 5 goals in the group stage.

Italy is the most tragic team in recent years, having won the World Cup 4 times and the European Cup twice, especially in the case of the 2021 European Championship, but the Italian team was defeated by North Macedonia in the World Qualifiers, and fell in the play-offs for two consecutive World Qualifiers, setting a humiliating record in team history. Since Mancini took office in 2018, he has won the European Championship and humiliated himself again in the World Qualifiers.

Italy have also reached the last four of the UEFA Nations League for two consecutive editions, having been eliminated by Spain in the last UEFA Nations League. In this UEFA Nations League, Italy was in the death group with Germany, England and Hungary, and finally finished first in the group with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat, with 11 points and advanced to the group, scoring 8 goals and conceding 7.

In the game, in the first half, Bonucci gave gifts, Pino scored, Immobile fired a penalty, Fratesi scored but was offside; Joselu beat Italy 2-1 in the second half, and the final will meet Croatia on the 19th.
