After 80 years the Spaniards finally have better team than Italy. The huge rivalry (Seven says it's one-sided, and i agree with him) made the Spaniards enjoy every second of it. They eliminated Italy, they won the EURO, they have better team while the Italians have the worst team in the last decades maybe.
The Spaniards enjoy this and want this to last forever. Rossi showed that Italy actually has some youngsters to take over the world champions.
It's not jealousy Andries. They are scared!
They fear that soon enough Italy will again be better and it might last for 80 more years.
