Italy began its European Championships campaign with a crucial 2-1 victory over underdog Albania. Despite conceding the quickest goal in tournament history, Barella scored the winning goal in the 16th minute with a strike from the edge of the area. This put Italy in a commanding lead alongside Spain.
Barella’s goal came after Albania’s Nedim Bajrami scored just 23 seconds into the game. Alessandro Bastoni equalized for Italy in the 11th minute with a free header from close range. Italy maintained control throughout the second half, but goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was forced to make a crucial save in injury time to secure the win.
Italy will face Spain next in a match that could determine the outcome of Group B. Meanwhile, Albania will look to revive its campaign against Croatia. Fans can expect Barella to play a key role in Italy’s success throughout the tournament, as he continues to prove himself as one of Europe’s top midfielders.
