Utilizando una formación alternativa, Italia venció a Gales por 1-0 para cerrar su participación en el Grupo A de la Euro 2020 con una campaña perfecta: tres triunfos, siete goles a favor y ninguno en contra. Un pleno que nunca antes había ocurrido en la competencia.

El autor de la conquista ante Gales fue Matteo Pessina, mediocampista de la Atalanta quien, por sus gustos e intereses, parece un hombre sacado directamente desde el Renacimiento.

Italy Completes Perfect Group Stage With Another Impressive Lockdown Performance

For the first time in European Championship history, a nation has won all three of its group stage matches without conceding a goal. Italy defeated Wales 1-0 on Sunday to finish top of Group A and book a Round of 16 trip to Wembley Stadium, where they’ll likely meet either Ukraine or Austria.

Italy manager Roberto Mancini made eight changes to the side that hammered Switzerland on Wednesday, but the Azzurri looked no different in how they went about dominating the opposition.

Germany Is Too Slow, The Netherlands Is Too Fast And Other Big Takeaways From Euros Week 1

Week 1 of 4 of Euro 2020 brought plenty of goal-mouth action, but also some disappointing performances — especially from some tournament favorites.

While we're only just starting the second matchday of the group stage, it is never too early to make some broad and definitive conclusions about the action that has taken place thus far.

Here are the biggest things I noticed from the opening week of the Euros.

20 Years After His Record-Setting Departure, Gigi Buffon Is Back At Boyhood Club

On July 3, 2001, Gianluigi Buffon became the most expensive goalkeeper in football, moving from Parma to Juventus for a fee of around $58 million. Now, two decades and 489 Serie A appearances later, Buffon is back at the club where it all started.

I’m Saying It Now: Italy Are The Favorites To Win Euro 2020, Gli Azzurri Defeats Switzerland

Italy favorites to win Euro 2020? I’d argue for Gli Azzurri. Italy picked up its second victory in Group A and secured a spot in the knockout stages after comfortably defeating Switzerland 3-0.

It was an unexpected hero who bagged a brace for Italy as Manuel Locatelli got the double to secure the three points. The Sassuolo midfielder had never scored a brace for club or country before Wednesday.

Major International Football Returns With Italy Winning At Home In Front Of Fans

Italy, nominally, was the away team for its Euro 2020 opener on Friday. Though the match was played in Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Turkey was designated the home team.

Previewing Italy vs. Turkey, Euro 2020’s Unpredictable Opening Match

A year late and thousands of fans short, Euro 2020 is finally here, and we couldn’t have asked for a more intriguing match to kick off the competition. After a year of uncertainty, the opening match is just as unpredictable as the 16 months that preceded it. Any Italy vs Turkey preview or prediction is mere speculation, as the Euro 2020’s first match is sure to enthrall.

Inter Milan Swoops In On Italy’s Most Coveted Manager, Lazio’s Simone Inzaghi

ROME - Inter Milan did not think they would need to replace Antonio Conte this year, but in successor Simone Inzaghi, they hope to have found a natural heir.

Conte terminated his deal by mutual consent in May over frustration at Inter's plans to cut costs and sell key players due to financial problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Chucky Lozano Tiene Nuevo Jefe: Luciano Spalletti Asume En La Banca Del Napoli

Hirving Lozano no tuvo que esperar mucho tiempo para saber el nombre de su nuevo entrenador en el Napoli. Seis días después de la destitución de Genaro Gattuso, por no lograr la clasificación a la próxima Champions League, el club italiano anunció la llegada de Luciano Spalletti.
