Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from the EURO 2024 Group B decider, as Italy must avoid defeat with Croatia to go through as runners-up.
It kicks off at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT) in Leipzig, with Spain and Albania playing at the same time in Dusseldorf.
A point would suffice to ensure the Azzurri reach the Round of 16 in second place, where they would be paired with Switzerland.
Defeat means they’d have to wait and see if they were among the four best-placed teams in third.
However, if Italy lose and Albania win, then the Nazionale would be fourth and out of the competition.
You can follow the pre-match and then post-match coverage on our YouTube Channel.
Mattia Zaccagni admits the last-gasp Italy equaliser with Croatia reminded him of Alessandro Del Piero’s goal in the 2006 World Cup semi-final. ‘Del Piero was my idol, I had his poster as a child.’ https://t.co/oquWQXs1jl #Azzurri #CROITA #CroatiaItaly #EURO2024

Jorginho admits an Italy equaliser seven seconds from time against Croatia was ‘the beauty of football,’ but ‘at this level you can’t rest for a second.’ https://t.co/n6ad8vd2I6 #Azzurri #CROITA #CroatiaItaly #EURO2024

Luciano Spalletti angrily shouted at the Sky Sport Italia pundits when asked if his tactics were too timid in the 1-1 draw with Croatia. ‘If we make banal errors, we’ll struggle with any system.’ https://t.co/YmMaW4dLb1 #Azzurri #CROITA #CroatiaItaly #EURO2024

Calafiori is suspended for the R16, btw.
We need a lie down.
Calafiori is literally just crying! Donnarumma is too, that was unbelievable!
Italy will face Switzerland in Berlin for the Round of 16. Oh my.
OH MY WORD.
IT WAS OVER. 98TH MINUTE, 7 SECONDS TO GO!
Calafiori deserves so much of the credit, he surges forward, give and go, then spread it to the left, where Zaccagni with the right-foot curler into the far top corner!
That was Del Piero-esque!
Fagioli booked for an earlier foul in the midfield on Gvardiol, but Barella managed to block off that move.
Perisic completely messes up the cross, Italy can start again. There are plastic beer glasses everywhere.
Zaccagni corner cleared by Juranovic, Calafiori takes one for the team to stop the counter.
Scamacca shot deflected for a corner.
Brozovic lunge into Bastoni’s ankle and yellow card.
Into EIGHT minutes of stoppages
Kramaric off, Juranovic on
Chiesa down the right, flashes a ball across the face of goal, Scamacca can’t get there, as Stanisic does just enough!
Calafiori to the rescue again after a Croatia attacking move… Italy’s siege has given way to sheer panic and it’s very ineffective.
Bastoni gives it away cheaply, Calafiori to the rescue…
Stanisic booked for a frankly unnecessarily hard foul through the back of Zaccagni.
Zaccagni and Fagioli on, Darmian and Jorginho off.
WHERE ALL THE DOUBTERS NOW?!!! THE CHAMPS ARE STILL HERE!! NEVER A DOUBT!!
