Player to Watch for Spain: Xavi

The Barcelona midfielder is the playmaking star who drives the Spanish team on the attack. His precision passing and ability to possess the ball under any circumstance are so valuable to the success of his team.

If Xavi controls the midfield against Italy, look for Spain to dominate the possession battle and have a lot of quality scoring chances.

Player to Watch for Italy: Gianluigi Buffon

Gianluigi Buffon could be considered the best goalkeeper in world football and was a very important player for Juventus this season when they won the Italian league with a historic unbeaten record.

Buffon will need to shine on Sunday because Spain has a lot of attacking quality and players who can find the back of the net.

If Buffon can make the saves he has to for Italy, they could draw with Spain or even defeat the defending World and European champions.
