The game is as complicated as I had imagined. However:
-) Busquets and Koke are missing a yellow card
-) a corner kick for Italy towards the end of the first half.
-) Barella's foul on Busquets was not there. The Italian player took the ball.
-) there was Busquets foul on Emerson Palmieri.
Italy's mistakes:
-) Barella was slow to shoot on goal on two occasions.
-) Insigne had to pass the ball to Emerson Palmieri in the penalty area.
-) Emerson Palmieri, on the occasion of the Buquets foul, had to vericalize towards Chiesa or Immobile.
Note:
-) Italy is facing a higher quality ball possession. This is the first game where Italy does not have control of the ball. You have to do a lot of work without the ball, be careful on the defensive and break with the "one-two" in speed or long balls to break the Spanish web.
-) Tactically, we Italians would have preferred Morata or Moreno to play because they are attackers who give points of reference. The "false nueve" set by Luis Enrique is putting us in difficulty.
-) Best player in the field for Italy? Donnarumma.

You're right, Mauve. Spain are playing their football while we have had to make up for our ball possession, second only to the Spanish one, with a more "Italian" approach to the game: defense, heart, counter-attack and long balls.I wonder if it will be a draw after 90 minutes or if one of them will be able to score a goal. Entertaining match.
H.P. Lovecraft right now:
Good match!

️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️Well, congrats on the victory! It's been a really good match and I think the Spanish team can be proud of having played the semi finals. Imo we always have the same problem: they are good at having the ball possession but it's hard for them to score. I often think you rarely see a goal from outside the penalty area from ; always trying to get very very close to the goal, but it means you have to dodge much more players. I don't have much knowledge of football, but this is how I see it.
I've always had a special love for, this is well known by many people in this forum, so of course I'll be rooting for them to win the final! 
Forza Italia!!

My technical comment with all the insights I do tomorrow ... I'm destroyed ... 
Honor to Spain The Spanish players are the only ones, after three years, to make us suffer a lot Their quality is immense 
If we hadn't changed our approach to the game with Spain ... we would have lost. Today Italy has won the victory "playing Italian style"
Before going to sleep
I hope that in the end I will make AshleyWright cry 
and then ... I will start a crowdfunding to send him to Disneyland 
I'm kidding, AshleyWright!

"Catenaccio in punto". E Gary Lineker raccoglie solo insulti dopo Italia-Spagna. Anche i grandi, a volte, sbagliano, e Lineker grande lo è davvero: super-bomber...

I wonder ... if we are too defensive a team, how did we manage to win 4 world championships, lose 2 on penalties and make us steal 2?
If the defensive approach is successful then Sweden should be the most successful national team in the world 
Many do not know football or are in bad faith
Offensive playing is more thrilling of course, but let's not forget that Greece won the championship in 2004 by playing very defensively. Before it started then, I said Greece would win - and they did!Euro 2020, Gary Lineker su Italia-Spagna: "Gol di Chiesa, catenaccio in punto". Massacrato di insulti: paura eh?
