Gigi Buffon believes Spain swept Italy aside in the World Cup qualifier because “they know what they’re doing and why they do it.”
Isco scored twice in the first half before Alvaro Morata put the icing on the cake at the Bernabeu.
“In my view, Spain have a self-confidence and a way of playing that is so well-consolidated over many years, which added to the quality of their various individual talents makes them remarkable,” the Italy captain told TMW Radio.

“In my view, Spain have a self-confidence and a way of playing that is so well-consolidated over many years, which added to the quality of their various individual talents makes them remarkable,” the Italy captain told TMW Radio.
“They know what they’re doing, why they do it, and that’s something that only experience, many years of working together and of winning can give you.”
Buffon was asked if this 3-0 defeat should force Italy to reconsider their 4-2-4 approach.
“No, I think we lost because we faced a team that proved itself to be superior to us. As for the tactical evaluations, the Coach will know what to do and understand what we can express against certain teams compared to others.
“We believe and hope to go to the World Cup. There is a year ahead of us, there will be training camps to refine certain mechanisms. There are values in this squad that don’t always emerge.
“On the night, Spain simply showed they were stronger.”
