Euro 2024: Italy roasted on social media as defending champions crash out in 'appalling' 2-0 defeat
The defending champions are out. Italy are the first football giants to crash out of EUR 2024 after a shocking 2 nil defeat to Switzerland. The Swiss beat the Azure for the first time in 31 years to reach their second consecutive Euro quarter finals after the 2021 edition. Italy were outclassed on all fronts as they managed to shoot on target only once in 95 minutes. Football fans and journalists deemed the Italian performance as a historic humiliation. In the other knockout game, Germany overcome Denmark two nil. The game was suspended in the 35th minute due to a thunderstorm in Dortmund. Germany broke the deadlock only in the second-half thanks to a penalty and then doubled up 15 minutes later with their top scorer Jamal Musiala. The hosts will now face the winner of Spain Georgia in the quarter finals. While Switzerland will take on either England or Slovakia.
