The Napoli forward was asked what he thought of when it came to past encounters between Italy and the Netherlands.

“What comes to mind is the game when Francesco Toldo saved two penalties and then Francesco Totti scored with that chip.”

That was the Euro 2000 semi-final, also played at the Amsterdam Arena, when Gianluca Zambrotta was sent off just 35 minutes in.

The Nazionale held out through normal and extra time, despite Holland receiving two penalties.

Eventually, the Azzurri won the tie in a penalty shoot-out.
