Euro 2024: Switzerland knock out defending champions Italy

Defending champions Italy were knocked out of Euro 2024 on Saturday, beaten 2-0 by Switzerland in their last 16 match in Berlin.

Murat Yakin’s supremely well-drilled side outplayed the flat two-time winners in the last 16 clash in Berlin and will face England or Slovakia in the next round.

The Swiss also ended a run of 11 matches without a win against Italy dating back to 1993.

The defeat to Switzerland means Italy have lost two games in a single edition of the UEFA European Championship for the first time in their history.

Also, the Azzuris have failed to reach the quarter-Final of a UEFA European Championship Finals for the first time since 2004 (eliminated at the group stage).
