Italy’s Euro 2024 Hopes Crushed in Round of 16 Defeat to Switzerland

Italy’s hopes of advancing in Euro 2024 were dashed as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Switzerland. Luciano Spalletti’s team was unable to overcome their northern neighbors and were knocked out in the Round of 16. Nicolo Fagioli earned his first start of the summer in Germany and played for 86 minutes, while Federico Chiesa also featured from the first minute until the end. Andrea Cambiaso made his third appearance at the tournament when he came off the bench. Unfortunately, Federico Gatti remained among the substitutes and did not see any playing time in the match. Despite their disappointing performance, Italy will continue to compete in future tournaments.
