Group winners Italy can afford to feel relaxed ahead of their final group game against the Republic of Ireland at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy as two wins from Belgium and Sweden games were quite enough for Azzurri to assert their dominance in Group E.

Italy

Italy were forced to make hard to earn their ticket for knockout stages of the 2016 European Championship having been forced to wait late for a 1-0 triumph over Sweden. Eder’s 88th-minute goal put Italy on maximum points even though Conte’s men looked to be heading for a goalless draw. Italians have so far showed great determination and grit as they look to make one step further to their Euro 2012 participation when they were halted in the final…

Atletico Madrid s match with Barcelona on Saturday pits two of LaLiga s finest forwards against each other at the Wanda Metropolitano for the first time.

Antoine Griezmann has enjoyed life at Atletico s new home this season but he will be up against it to stop Lionel Messi stealing the limelight when the leaders visit for their toughest domestic match of 2017-18 to date.
