Davide Calabria insists Italy will ‘give 100 per cent’ against Belgium in the Nations League, even if it’s only for third place.

This is the third place final in Turin, while France and Spain go head-to-head for the Nations League trophy tonight at San Siro.
“Italy-Belgium will be a top level fixture, as we’re talking about one of the best teams in the world,” Calabria told RAI Sport.
Calabria probably would’ve started, but the Milan right-back is ruled out by a slight muscular injury.
“Belgium have been doing very well for many years, so have we, and I expect a very entertaining match. It’s not going to be like the Final for first place, but we mustn’t underestimate the game and obviously we’ll still give 100 per cent.
“Roberto Mancini told us this will be above all important for the ranking, unfortunately it’s not for first place in the Nations League, but it’s never nice to lose. We always want to win and you can’t beat that feeling.”
