- ‘Team that plays with a free mind will gain the upper hand’
- Verratti believes Italy capable of dominating England midfield
Marco Verratti believes Sunday’s Euro 2020 final between Italy and England will be decided by which side cope better with the pressure of a “history-making” match.
The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has been an ever-present for the Azzurri since their win over Wales in the third group stage game after fears that he could miss the tournament because of knee injury. Italy are unbeaten in 33 matches and have never lost to England at a major tournament, and the 28-year-old said the final at Wembley would go the way of the team that hold their nerve.
