Italy:
On the other hand, Italy also started this final tournament right, but had great emotions in the match with Albania, who managed to open the scoring in the 27th second, which is also the fastest goal in the history of the European championships. Italy got back into the game very quickly and managed to turn the score in just five minutes through the goals scored by Inter’s players, Bastoni in the 11th minute and Barella in the 16th minute, but then they didn’t create any great opportunities. In the last match of the group, Italy will meet a wounded team in pride, Croatia, and will have to be very careful.
