The elimination of Italy from Euro 2024 It was a real sporting tragedy. The shameful spectacle put on by the players under the orders of the coach Luciano Spalletti has shaken all football fans, inviting them to reflect once again on the future of our football movement. The FIGC, for its part, has already taken action by announcing the creation of a commission of technicians who will have to support the employment of young Italians in Serie A clubs. But the wound for Italian fans is still too fresh. And many are venting their frustration sui social network.
In hindsight, Croatia might have… deserved more than Italy to finish second in Group B. In the 98 minutes played against the Azzurri, Modric and his teammates had dominated the game for long stretches of the match. And only the miracles of Gigio Donnarumma – author of a prodigious save on the penalty kicked by Real Madrid’s number 10 – and the winning move by Matthias Zaccagni had allowed Luciano Spalletti to avoid a bad impression already in the group stage. A bad impression that was postponed only by a week, when the Azzurri then fell under the blows of Switzerland.
