France Overtakes Italy in Nations League

Published: 2024-11-17

In a dramatic turn of events at San Siro, France defeated Italy 3-1, seizing the top spot in their Nations League group.

Despite Italy's initial hopes, the French team, led by a stellar performance from Adrien Rabiot, who scored twice, and a remarkable free-kick by Lucas Digne, proved too strong.

Italy's Andrea Cambiaso managed to score, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome.

The Italian team, under coach Luciano Spalletti, struggled with defensive lapses and a lack of intensity, which were exploited by the French side.

This loss means Italy will face a challenging draw in the quarter-finals, potentially against strong teams like Spain, Germany, or Portugal.

Despite the setback, Spalletti remains optimistic about the team's progress and future potential.
