Spain 3-0 Italy: 5 Talking Points, FIFA World Cup Qualifiers

5) Leonardo Spinazzola's versatility gives Italy options for the future

Leonardo Spinazzola was Italy's best player against Spain

While the Azzurri certainly did not give a good account of themselves at the Bernabeu, one man stood out in the 3-0 defeat. Their left midfielder/left-back - Leonardo Spinazzola.

The 24-year-old only made his international debut this year but he already looks at home on the left, putting in a shift and not rolling over like the rest of his teammates.

The Juventus man on loan at Atalanta was seen tracking back (even stopping a counter that almost saw Spain score another), gave Dani Carvajal a good battle on the flank and caused Davis Silva a few problems as well.

Not many full-backs are 6'3" but Spinazzola came good in the make-shift role winning all his tackles and aerial duels. Spain were also unable to dribble past him over the 90 minutes as he stood firm on the left.
