“It’s very different to the club scene, every result a national team has remains in the history books so we are going to approach the game with intensity.”

Teammate Iniesta echoed these sentiments.

“Against the Azzurri it will be a special match,” he commented. “Against them we always have close matches, because they are among the strongest teams in the world.”
