England’s qualification path to Euro 2024 continues on Tuesday night when they host Italy at Wembley. A win against the Azzurri will ensure Gareth Southgate’s side qualify for next year’s tournament in Germany.The last meeting between these two sides under the arch came in 2021 when England’s dreams of a major trophy ended after being beaten in a penalty shootout.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saved penalties from Andrea Belotti and Jorginho, but Marcus Rashford hit a post before Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka were denied by Gianluigi Donnarumma as Italy earned a 3-2 shootout victory and lifted the European Championship.Aiming to qualify for their first World Cup since Italia 1990, Glenn Hoddle’s England were drawn in a group alongside Italy as they tried to secure a spot in the 1998 edition in France.
England eventually went on to win the qualifying group with a historic draw against the Azzurri in Rome later in the year.Similarly to the 1998 tournament, England’s qualification for the 1978 World Cup saw them drawn in a group with Italy.
