Anyway it is not as big a fact as Germany . Because Germany is historically a team with great record whereas Spain doesn't have such a great record historically.
This great Italian record is a concern for both Germany and Spain.
The best chance to oust Italy was in the group stage . Historically it had been like that. But Spain and Croatia missed a golden opportunity to oust them.
It is very very very diffficult to beat Italy in a knock out match.
May be the toughest task in Football.
