LEIPZIG, Germany (Reuters) - Italy managed to get a crucial 2-1 win in their opening Euro 2024 game against Albania on Saturday but their former goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon wants to see them learn to kill off games after they risked conceding a late equaliser.
Luciano Spalletti's side fell behind to Nedim Bajrami's goal in the first minute, the fastest ever scored at a European Championship, but within 15 minutes they had overturned the deficit through Alessandro Bastoni and Nicolo Barella.
