Berlin –
Italy are once again staring into the football abyss after their humiliating Euro 2024 elimination against Switzerland last Saturday, with their continental title defense ending in embarrassing fashion.
A surprisingly one-sided match in Berlin, where Italy won the 2006 World Cup, led to a disappointing exit in the last 16 after Luciano Spalletti’s team narrowly survived the group stage.
Saturday’s paltry defeat was one of the lowest points in the history of the four-time world champions and reigning king of Europe, and the latest in a series of disturbingly huge humiliations in recent history, including missing the last two World Cups.
