Take a look at Italy players’ reactions to a 1-1 draw against Croatia and the subsequent qualification for the Round of 16 of EURO 2024.

Italy qualified for the knock-out phase at EURO 2024 on Monday thanks to a 1-1 draw against Croatia.

The national team’s X account shared a brief video of players celebrating inside the dressing room last night, starting with new hero Mattia Zaccagni.

There were more reactions from Italian players on social media, from Gigio Donnarumma to Riccardo Calafiori. Both massively contributed to the draw.

The PSG keeper saved a penalty kick in the second half, less than a minute before Modric’s opener, while Calafiori, a Bologna central defender, provided the assist to Zaccagni with a brave forward run in the dying minutes.

Unfortunately, Calafiori will be suspended in the next match against Switzerland, which will be played on Saturday, June 29, at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
