In 2006, Italy, managed by Marcello Lippi, triumphed at the FIFA World Cup in Germany, winning their fourth world title. The squad blended defensive icons like Fabio Cannavaro, Gianluca Zambrotta, and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon with creative talent such as Andrea Pirlo, Francesco Totti, and Alessandro Del Piero, while forwards Luca Toni and Marco Materazzi added goals. Italy advanced strongly through the group stage, then eliminated Australia, Ukraine, and hosts Germany en route to the final. Against France, the match ended 1–1 after extra time, with Italy winning 5–3 on penalties. Cannavaro’s leadership and Buffon’s brilliance epitomized their tactical resilience.
