After four wins and a draw, the first false step of the season arrives for Italy, losing 3-1 to France in Milan, slipping to second place in the Nations League group. Same result as in September at the Parc des Princes, but this time the celebration is for the Bleus. Although qualification was already in the safe, the better goal difference allowed Deschamps' team to overtake at the last corner, which is worth a place among the top seeds at the draw for the quarterfinal pairings. On Friday in Nyon, the Azzurri will draw from the box one of the top finishers in the other three groups, and in March they will presumably find a more difficult obstacle to overcome. In a sold-out Meazza stadium, which set a record box office for a National team match (1million and 652 thousand euros), as it did two months ago in Paris, Italy went down 2-0 but found the strength to react, shortening the distance with Cambiaso. In the middle of the second half, however, Rabiot's second goal, his third one of the night on a loose ball, gave the Bleus first place in the round.
