Italy are already guaranteed top seed status in the 2022 World Cup qualifying draw, as Switzerland were held 1-1 by Spain and can’t catch them.
The Azzurri had organised their 4-0 friendly win over Estonia in order to boost their FIFA ranking and it worked.
Because Switzerland failed to beat Spain in last night’s Nations League encounter, in which Sergio Ramos had two penalties saved, it means they cannot catch up to Italy in time.
The draw for the 2022 World Cup qualifying groups will be next month and the Nazionale will be top seeds.

That is the situation even if they were to lose both remaining Nations League matches against Poland this evening and the Netherlands next week.
