Italy started their preparations for Euro 2020 with an emphatic 7-0 friendly win over San Marino at the Sardegna Arena on Friday.
Despite a slow start, Roberto Mancini s side went in at the interval two goals up courtesy of strikes from Federico Bernardeschi – the Juventus man s sixth international goal – and Gian Marco Ferrari.
Matteo Politano and Matteo Pessina added braces after the break, while Andrea Belotti was also on target as Italy brushed aside their neighbours with the minimum of fuss.
