On June 16, in the early hours, during Group B of the UEFA Euro Cup match, Italy overturned the game to beat Albania 2-1. Both Barella and Bastoni contributed to the goals, marking the first time in Euros history that two Inter Milan players have scored for the Italian national team.
Despite Albania scoring the fastest goal in Euros history just 23 seconds into the match, the defending champions responded with goals in the 11th and 16th minutes, maintaining their lead until the final whistle.
According to records, this is the first time in the main stage of the Euros that two players from Inter Milan have scored for Italy. If we broaden our scope to include the World Cup, this is only the second such occurrence, with the first being in the 1970 Mexico World Cup, where Italy triumphed over West Germany in a semi-final match often referred to as the “Game of the Century.”
