These were also the strips worn when the two nations met in a friendly in Udinese on March 24.
That encounter ended 1-1 with goals from Lorenzo Insigne and Aritz Aduriz, though the Spanish goal should’ve been ruled offside.
Marca pointed out that Spain do not have good memories of facing Italy wearing white, as they were knocked out of the 1994 World Cup semi-final.
They were also in white when losing to Nigeria in 1998 and Portugal in 2004.
