- Italy and Wales’ last game was 18 years ago, in a European Championship qualifier back in September 2003. On that day, Filippo Inzaghi scored his one and only hat-trick with the Italian national team (4-0).
3 – Italy have won three out of three games in a single group stage between European and World Cups for the fourth time (2000, 1990 and 1978 the others). Tris.#ItaliaGalles #ITA pic.twitter.com/yW6JKqsVHe

Cantare con tutto il cuoreeeeeee
Fratelli d’Italia,
L’Italia s’è desta,
Dell’elmo di Scipio
S’è cinta la testa.
Dov’è la Vittoria?
Le porga la chioma,
Ché schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò. https://t.co/R6Nq7xkaz3— Anna Italia (@ItalianSerieA) June 20, 2021
