Italy's under-19 European Championship ended in the semifinals, meaning they will not be able to defend the continental title they won last year. Bernardo Corradi's team succumbed against Spain in extra time, where Fortuny's goal (100') was decisive. Great regret for the Azzurrini, given the excellent chances that happened on the feet of Pafundi and, above all, Ebone. It will be the Iberians who will play for the title in Ireland, against France. "Proud of our Azzurrini! After the continental success of the Under-17 team, Coach Corradi's national team had an excellent European Championship, winning the fundamental goal of qualifying for the next World Cup. There is a lot of quality in this team, I am sure we will hear a lot more about many of these boys," said FIGC President Gabriele Gravina after the match.
