Italy, the defending champions, faced a disappointing exit from Euro 2024 on Saturday after a 2-0 defeat by Switzerland in their last 16 encounter in Berlin. Murat Yakin’s meticulously prepared team displayed superior performance, outclassing the lackluster two-time champions in the crucial match. Switzerland’s impressive win sets them up to meet either England or Slovakia in the upcoming round, marking a significant milestone for the team.
Moreover, the victory against Italy not only secures their advancement in the tournament but also ends a long-standing streak of 11 winless matches against Italy, a record that dated back to 1993. The Swiss team’s triumph not only signifies their prowess in the competition but also marks a historic moment in their football history.
