Mancini plays down Italy’s chances but he knows they’re looking good

Roberto Mancini has every right to purring after his Azzurri were first to qualify for the knockout stage of Euro 2020 after a second emphatic group win.

But the modest Italy boss claims France, Portugal and Belgium are teams still ahead of his side in the competition.

‘Anything can happen’, he said, and following two 3-0 wins so far Italy’s odds on going all the way are shortening.

Intriguingly, their final group game is against Wales who, after a superb 2-0 win against Turkey look set to finish runners-up and go through.

Paul Pogba removes Heineken bottle at press conference

Following France's first match against Germany, Paul Pogba imitated Cristiano Ronaldo by removing the Heineken bottle at the post-match press conference. Pogba also gave his thoughts on France's 1-0 win. He said: "We know the attack we have, the team we have. We know our offensive qualities and the difficulties we can pose to other teams. We also know that the players up front can do a defensive job. We're not used to seeing them so low and run that much. They do it very well, it's a plus for us, we hope to continue like this, we know it will be a strength."
