It is Italy’s first game since their victory at UEFA Euro 2020 less than two months ago.
The Azzurri beat England on penalties becoming champions of Europe for the second time in their history and tonight, they play with a special patch to celebrate their achievement.
Tonight’s line-up is almost the same as two months ago, with Alessandro Florenzi and Francesco Acerbi the only new faces in Italy’s starting XI.

Players like Gollini,Chiellini,Sirigu,Emerson should be ditched from azzurri…..other credible players deserves a chance
Yeah, yeah, ditch em + all that experience too. Better yet, let’s see if they can get more credible players like Tobey or Harry Maguire to switch citizenship? And call them up instead!
Chiellini was one of the standout performer’s in the Final + they all acknowledged how Sirigu’s experience was vital for the dressing room. It’s not as if Mancio ever picks youth is it either? Wow! Don’t think I’ve been that ironic since the early 90’s ‘Grunge’ era!
