Left-back Alex Grimaldo contributed ten goals and 13 assists in 31 Bundesliga starts for champions Bayer Leverkusen and, despite playing a slightly less attacking role for Spain, he should pose a creative threat.

Nicolo Barella will occupy an attacking midfield role in the Italian starting XI and he is one of their key creators, having managed four assists in seven appearances in qualifying. The Inter Milan man comes into the tournament after helping his side win the Scudetto and he is also the top scorer in Spalletti’s squad with nine goals in 53 caps to date.
