Italy Home Shirt 2000

In 2000, Italy, coached by Dino Zoff, reached the UEFA Euro 2000 final in the Netherlands and Belgium. The squad blended defensive solidity with attacking flair, featuring Fabio Cannavaro, Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Nesta, Francesco Totti, and Alessandro Del Piero. Italy topped their group, defeating Turkey and Belgium before edging Romania in the quarter-finals. In the semi-final, they held off the Netherlands in a dramatic 0–0 draw, winning 3–1 on penalties despite being reduced to 10 men. In the final, Italy led through Marco Delvecchio but were heartbreakingly beaten 2–1 by France after David Trezeguet’s golden goal.
