Alessandro Bastoni was in Luciano Spalletti’s starting XI as Italy posted a spectacular 4-1 UEFA Nations League win on Monday evening.

Following a frustrating 2-2 draw against Belgium, victory on Matchday 4 was imperative for Gli Azzurri.

Spalletti’s side steamrolled to a much-needed triumph to fortify their place at the top of Group A2.

And Alessandro Bastoni deserves a fair share of the credit.

The 25-year-old took to Instagram shortly after last night’s match to pay homage to the Italians’ electrifying performance.
