The Italy under‑21 team continues its journey in the best possible way ahead of the upcoming European championship. According to the official FIGC website, the Azzurrini beat Spezia's Primavera 10‑0 in the latest friendly played before the departure for Armenia. Another decidedly positive test after the 15‑0 win over Empoli's Primavera.

Milan also shines with Bartesaghi

Italy started with a 4‑3‑4 formation, relying on Mascardi in goal and the Comuzzo‑Chiarodia pair in central defence, while up front space was given to Cissé supported by Liberali and Koleosho. The latter scored after just four minutes with a finish on the second post. In the ninth minute Faticanti doubled the lead and two minutes later Ndour made it 3‑0.

In the final phase of the first half the former Rossonero Liberali took the scene, scoring a double between the 26th and 35th minute. In the second half numerous substitutions were made: in the 52nd minute Davide Bartesaghi scored, with a shot that surprised the goalkeeper on the first post. At the end the goals came from Lipani, Fini, Cherubini and Moruzzi, fixing the score at 10‑0.
