Euro 2024: Who said what after Spain defeat Italy 1-0
Who said what after Spain defeated Italy 1-0 at Euro 2024 on Thursday to qualify for the last 16:
"We have had quite a few clear chances, but we are very happy because we have shown that we are a great team and we suffocate anyone. It is very difficult to play against us."
-- Spain captain Alvaro Morata
"We had a great game. The team worked like animals. We already showed against Croatia that we wanted to do something big."
-- Spain's Nico Williams
"It's very simple, they were faster than us, compact and were right on top of us. We simply weren't as bright as them. When you've not got the legs it's difficult to talk about anything like character and personality."
-- Italy coach Luciano Spalletti to Sky Sport Italia
"We could have done a few things differently tactically but they were faster and quicker to react than us. They took less time to make their moves."
-- Spalletti
