Roberto Mancini’s team also had to suffer defeat to England in Naples, although they equalized through Mateo Retegui who scored on his debut.

I’m very happy to score on my debut for Italy against England. I didn’t expect to be called up by Mancini, let alone play up front in place of the injured Immobile. I want to continue to prove myself and help this team qualify for Euro 2024, said Retegui quoted from ESPN.

The Azzurri also have an impressive record in European qualifiers, winning 14 in a row and being unbeaten in the last 40 matches.
