ROME (Reuters) - Roberto Mancini said France, Portugal and Belgium should be considered as favourites for Euro 2020 ahead of his Italy side after the Azzurri recorded their second consecutive 3-0 win at the tournament against Switzerland in Rome on Wednesday.

The impressive Manuel Locatelli scored either side of the break and Ciro Immobile added a late third as the Italians became the first team to book their place in the knockout stages and stretched their unbeaten run to 29 games in all competitions.
