Rome Italy /
Days before Euro 2020 He was not placed among the candidates for the title despite his enormous history and record. Today, Italy has given a coup of authority when finishing the Group Phase perfectly, but not only that, it is the first National team in history that achieves nine points and does not allow a single goal in all three games.
In the enormous history of the Eurocup -whose first edition was in 1958-, never a national team had won all its group games without receiving goals, remembering that the Azzurra played against Turkey, Switzerland and Welsh at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
#OJOALDATO – Italy is the FIRST selection in ALL the history of the Eurocup to close a group stage with PLENTY of victories and with ZERO goals against.

As the undefeated leader of Group A, the Azzurra squad will wait for one of the worst third places to meet in the Round of 16, on a path that they hope will lead to their second European title because they only have that of 1968 when they were hosts.
No team will be able to match Italy’s record in this European Championship
No other selection will be able to replicate in the Euro 2020 what was done by Italy, since only England and Sweden They have not accepted opposing entries, but both have already drawn one of their two games. For its part, Netherlands and Belgium they have won their pair of matches, but they have already yielded goals.
Italy has not lost 30 games
In addition to qualifying with a perfect step to the Round of 16, the Nazionale accumulated 30 games without knowing defeat considering all the competitions in which he has participated in recent years: Eurocup, knockout for the Euro and UEFA Nations League, plus friendlies. His last defeat was on September 10, 2018 in view of Portugal 1-0 in the Nations League.
