“I think we’ll realise it even more when the World Cup starts. It’s a bad time in our careers but above all for ourselves. It was an opportunity to redeem our performance at the 2014 World Cup.
“Do I think about that night? I’ve played twice at San Siro since then, and as soon as I went on the field, all I could think about was that evening. It was a shock.”
