Patrick Cutrone scored for Italy U21s at the U21 European Championships, but will it be enough?

Italy has to wait to see if other results go their way if they are to go into the semifinals, but they need a lot of help to make it. As for Cutrone, he said afterwards, “It was so emotional and I almost burst into tears. I have not gone through a good period, as I haven’t played much and didn’t score since January, so it meant a lot to me.”
So a lot of waiting around see what happens for Italy fans tomorrow.
