Full card for Italy: already qualified since October for the Euro-2020, the Nazionale concluded its path in qualifying by crushing Armenia 9-1 Monday in Palermo for his 10th win in 10 matches.
Even though it was won against a very weak opponent, this new success, the 11th consecutive for men Roberto Mancini, confirms the return to the forefront of Italy, two years after touching a low point during its elimination in the roadblocks to the World Cup-2018 against Sweden.
The Nazionale has flown over the debates in the group J qualifiers and his flawless record of 10 matches won him a top spot in the draw for the Euro on November 30.
Monday in Palermo, the festival of goals has been led by Immobile, author of a double (8th and 33rd) and Zaniolo, who scored his first two goals in selection (9th and 64th).
Other goals were scored by Barella (29), Romagnoli (72), Jorginho (75), Orsolini (78) and Chiesa (82).
Babayan saved the honor for Armenia (81st), who could have bowed more heavily, Italy having hit the posts three times.
