FT: France 1-3 Italy

In the first round of the UEFA Nations League A, France faced Italy. In the first half, Barco stole the ball and scored just 13 seconds after the match started, while Frattesi's header hit the crossbar, and Tonali provided a clever backheel assist for Dimarco, who volleyed the ball into the net. In the second half, Retegui assisted Frattesi in scoring from close range to take the lead, and after Saliba's clearance mistake, Raspadori intercepted the ball and calmly slotted it home. In the end, Italy defeated France 3-1.
