Italy has dethroned defending champions Spain with goals from Giorgio Chiellini and Graziano Pelle in a thrilling match.

European favorites Spain took on the Italians in the last 16 match of this top-flight tournament in France. However, La Roja crashed out of this summer's Euro after the Azzurri beat them 2-0.

Antonio Conte's men displayed a world class performance against the Spaniards, which booked their ticket to the quarter-finals. In addition, the 46-year-old manager has acquired a strong record with his side, winning 10 and only losing once in his 14 competitive matches with Italy. 

On the other side of the pitch, Spain have now lost 4 of their last 7 games at the World Cup and European Championships.

Fans took to Twitter after Italy beat the European Championship holders:

Buffon and Co. will now face world champions Germany on Saturday at the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux.
