Italian national football team has a new record to their name. They are the first team to remain unbeaten for the consecutive 36 international matches. Thus run of Italy was continued throughout Euro 2020. They are also the champions of the Euro 2020 Cup after defeating England’s national football team in the finals in penalties.
Italy team is currently competing in the World Cup qualifiers and they haven’t lost a single game there as well. The unbeaten run of the Italian national football team was started in the year 2018 and it’s continuing. Roberto Mancini’s (Italian football team manager) side has last faced a defeat in 2018 which was against Portugal by 1-0. However, the Manchester United forward and Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo was not playing in this match. Italy’s unbeaten streak was started on 10th October 2018 when they were against Ukraine in their home stadium. However their longest unbeaten run was not started with a win, it was started with a draw.
Not the win Mancini's men wanted tonight, but the #Azzurri are now 3⃣6⃣ games unbeaten.
