The two teams have been very different since they last met in the 2020 European Cup final, which will be held in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. At that time, Italy won via a penalty shootout after the match ended in a 1-1 draw at the normal time.
Italypartying at Wembley but ironically, they did not play in the 2022 World Cup as they failed to qualify. Not wanting that to happen again, Italy is trying to start off well in defending its title at the European Cup, and so is England.
