This evening, Belgium play Italy in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020, in what – for the neutral fan – may be the most highly anticipated of the last-eight games.
Belgium could just be the favourites to win the entire competition next weekend, following their 1-0 victory over defending champions Portugal in the last 16 and promising group-stage outings.

Meanwhile, Italy were picked out as dark horses ahead of the tournament and have been justifying the cautious hype. Roberto Mancini’s team needed extra time to get past Austria in the last 16 but were the standout side in the group stage and will be tough foes for Roberto Martinez’s Belgium.
The two nations face off in Munich, with a semi-final fixture against the winners of Switzerland vs Spain awaiting the victors.
