Back at EUFA EURO Championship 2016, Italy faced such disappointment lost by just missed 1 penalty goal round on Quarter-finals against all mighty Germans which ended up 1-1 draw and then aggregate penalty with 5-6. If they have passed Germans in Quarter Final, it will be against France in Semi-Finals 2016 with a big if.
Now, Marco Verratti, Jorginho and Nicolo Barrella building ball possession wonderfully with players like Ciro Immobile, Lorenzo Insigne and Domenico Berardi. It is just so excited to see Italy to play this Euro 2020/2021. There might be doubts on both Alessandro Florenzi and Giorgio Chiellini might be in injury against Austria
Tough game for Austria
Italy were unbeaten last 13 meetings with Austria with 10 wins and 3 draws. Austria also having the first ever appearance in the knockout stages of this year’s championship since 1951 World Cup. Gladly to say that proud of Austria will lasted till top 16 or maybe even top 14 with anything could happen 27 June 2021.
Austria greatest achievement this year defeating North Macedonia with 3-1, 2-0 loss to Netherlands and 1-0 win against Ukraine. This put them in runner-up behind Netherlands. I must say it is quite greatest achievement of Austria to be in final 16 and they should have nothing more to lose at Wembly. Their top goals is from Marko Arnautovic, Christoph Baumgartner, Michael Gregoritsch and Stefan Lainer.
