Italy and Spain go to battle on Tuesday night in search of a place in Sunday's Euro 2020 final. 

Roberto Mancini's Italy have been sensational throughout the tournament, having been one of only two teams - alongside England - not to concede in the group stages and since beating Austria and Belgium in the knockouts. 

The Azzurri, who last won the European Championships in 1968, have continued to build their stunning record, which now stands at 15 consecutive wins and 32 games unbeaten. 

Spain have been less convincing en route to the final-four, battling through the group stages with a much-needed 5-0 win over Slovakia that followed two disappointing draws against Sweden and Poland. 

They were made to work hard against 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia in the round of 16 and needed penalties to get past a brave 10-man Switzerland in the quarter-finals. 

The pair will compete in London's Wembley Stadium, with the winner returning to the same venue on Sunday to face either England or Denmark.  

With the clash quickly approaching, Sportsmail takes you through the all-important information.

As stated, Italy have been one of the most formidable teams of the tournament to date, impressing with their defensive stability and attacking threat. 

It was they who got the tournament underway in Rome back on June 11, beating Turkey 3-0 in a routine affair. 

Their subsequent 3-0 win over Switzerland was deemed expected at the time, but their opponents then qualified for the last-16 and knocked out pre-tournament favourites France in a stunning scalp. 

After another clean sheet against Wales in their final group encounter, Italy took on Austria for a place in the quarter-finals, where they needed extra-time after drawing 0-0 in the initial 90 minutes. 

Goals from Federico Chiesa - who has had a fine tournament - and Matteo Pessina gave the Italian an unassailable 2-0 lead, before Austria pulled back what proved to be a consolation goal with six minutes to play. 

Then came Italy's toughest test to date, and they passed the challenge with flying colours in beating Belgium 2-1, conceding only due to a controversial penalty awarded on the stroke of half-time.
