Fabio Capello believes that Italy have already shown that they know how to beat Spain, and expects them to win the midfield battle in tonight's final.

Fabio Capello believes that Italy can dominate in midfield against Spain in the Euro 2012 final.

The former England and Real Madrid manager has predicted that the game, which takes place tonight in Kiev, will be one of the best of the tournament.

"Spain-Italy in the group phase was the best game of the entire tournament so far. The Azzurri interpreted the match very well," Capello told Sky Sport Italia.

"I think that was an almost perfect performance on how to play against Spain and nobody else managed to do that during the Euros.

"Italy can win in midfield, as we must not allow Spain to keep possession. I think they will start with Cesc Fabregas as a 'striker'."

The Italian also revealed that he has had many job offers since quitting the England post, with rumours linking him with the vacant Russia job.

"Is my future at club or international level? I am waiting for something that I like. I have received several offers."
