Italy is stepping onto the field against Spain at the Euros on Friday, exuding confidence despite their precarious position in Group B. Defender Elisabetta Oliviero emphasized the team's lack of fear, underscoring their determination to secure a spot in the quarter-finals.

The Italians seemed poised to advance alongside Spain, but a late equalizer against Portugal resulted in a 1-1 draw, complicating their path. Now, they need a draw or a favorable result from Portugal's game against Belgium to progress.
