In Brussels, the Azzurri made the difference by the smallest of margins and a goal from Tonali in the first period, from the 11e minute (0-1).
A result which de facto eliminates the Red Devils, and which officially sends Italy like France to the quarter-finals of this League of Nations.
Sunday evening in Milan, Luciano Spalletti’s selection will receive that of Didier Deschamps with a good chance of locking his first group place. Only a tricolor success by three goals would in fact offer leadership to the Blues who lost 1-3 on the first leg at the Parc des Princes.
