Italy’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is filled with confidence and motivation as the team advances to the Round of 16 in EURO 2024. The match against Switzerland will take place in Berlin, where Italy famously won the 2006 World Cup Final against France.
Former player Gigi Buffon, now a team manager, spoke to the team about the significance of the upcoming match. For many supporters of the Nazionale, including Buffon himself, the memories of that historic victory are still fresh.
Reflecting on Italy’s recent success, Donnarumma highlighted the dramatic late equaliser scored by Mattia Zaccagni against Croatia as a pivotal moment for the team. He believes that Italy is now more aware of their capabilities and ready to give their best in the upcoming challenges.
Despite facing doubts at the start of the tournament, Italy’s resilience and determination have propelled them to this stage. Donnarumma emphasized that the team’s confidence and motivation are at a high, and with the support of millions of Italians behind them, they are prepared to give their all and aim for success in EURO 2024.
