Italy are having to bounce back from the disappointment of failing to qualify for the World Cup, but they could hardly have asked for a better way to do so than by winning two matches from two in the current international break.

The Azzurri have managed to reach the finals of the Nations league with their victories over the likes of England and Hungary during the break.

Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni posted on his Instagram account to celebrate the results, captioning the post “Starting again with two victories.”
