If you did not expect much from Italy on the way to Euro 2020, do not pay attention. The "dark horse" tag that has been thrown at them seems a bit laughable considering the ridiculous shape they were heading into the tournament and the fact that they are literally Italy. Everything we saw in the group stage - three wins, seven goals, three clean sheets - was just a continuation of the run that had seen them go two and a half years without tasting defeat.They are good. They are very, very good, but on proof of their 16th…

The tournament is Euro 2020 and a new position has been invented. Vänsterbackbacken. Do not be fooled, this is not the left back. Far from. This is a left-back, who starts the game as part of a flat back-four, and yet manages to be the most potent and attacking threat on the team. The creator of this new art is Leonardo Spinazzola. The AS Roma star has flourished for the past two years in the Italian capital and has become one of the most carefree and unstoppable wingers in Europe. Paulo Fonseca's high-risk and high-goal…
