Federico Dimarco 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 Federico Dimarco deserves a fair share of the credit.

He delivered another delightful assist, setting up his clubmate Davide Frattesi for Italy’s third.

The 26-year-old took to Instagram shortly after last night’s match to pay homage to the Italians’ electrifying performance.

Dimarco left a captivating caption: “On the right path! A win and a performance worthy of Italy.

“But do assists for the national team count on fantasy football?

“Ciao friends”
