The Italian media did not spare the national team that performed poorly in the European Championship.

Luciano Spalletti's team managed to achieve only one victory against the Albanians and ended their run in the quarterfinals.

"Another dark page in our football history", "We need to start from scratch", "Shameful performance of the national team" - wrote "La Gazzetta dello Sport".

"Italian catastrophe, Swiss kicked us out of the European Championship", "The team sank" - stated "Corriere dello Sport".

"Swiss taught us a lesson and eliminated us in the quarterfinals, we need to reform our entire system", "Blow to the national team - Freuler and Vargas destroyed all illusions", "After failing to qualify for two consecutive World Cups, this fiasco only uncovered the whole crisis that was masked by the triumph in the European Championship in 2021", "Italy faces a dark future - discussions need to start immediately" - claimed "Tuttosport".
