Today’s Papers: ‘Festival of Italy’ as Azzurri beat Turkiye and Malagò set to become his own commissioner
‘A fine show of strength’: Italy put three more past Turkiye to move up to second in the group. Scamacca opened the scoring, then Calafiori and Pio Esposito added to it, and the Azzurri now look to November and the hunt for a quarter-final place. Mancini is in a reflective mood: “How I miss Vialli.” The Inter striker Pio Esposito has now scored seven goals in 13 games for his country.
‘Commissioner Malagò’: In what the pink paper calls a sensational twist, the FIGC president is set to succeed himself. CONI president Luciano Buonfiglio is looking for a compromise, with the two meeting before today’s Giunta. Fresh elections would follow with a single candidate, “this time with a membership card.”
‘Azzurrini, six goals, Ndour from 75 metres’: The Under-21s beat Poland to book their place at the European Championship, and the Fiorentina midfielder struck from inside his own half.

‘Double joy’: Under the banner “Festa Italia”, the Rome paper celebrates two objectives achieved on the same night: Mancini wins 3-1 and Baldini wins 6-2. At the Dall’Ara, Scamacca opened the scoring and Simsir equalised before “the Arsenal defender and the usual Esposito” decided it. Italy move above Belgium, who were beaten 4-1 by France, and the coach declares: “Now we’re in with a shot.” Ndour’s goal for the Under-21s is measured at 65 metres here.
‘Today the Giunta: welcome to the circus’: The vote on the Malagò case is at 13:00. A compromise is taking shape that would make the FIGC No 1 the commissioner, with a meeting with Buonfiglio before the vote. Editor Ivan Zazzaroni sticks with the circus theme in his front-page column, savaging the plan to put the federation under administration.

‘Festival of Italy’: Scamacca, Calafiori and Pio floored Turkiye. Mancini made nine changes from Paris, which brought less fluency and more fatigue, but the reaction to Simsir’s equaliser was that of a real team and the finish was a crescendo. Italy close the mini-cycle in second, ahead of a Belgium side thrashed 4-1 by France. Mancini: “Really a good game despite it being the fourth in 11 days, the balance is more than positive.”
‘FantaNdour and six goals! Under-21s into the Euros’: Baldini’s masterpiece in Pescara. Ndour scored twice, one of them from 72 metres. An emotional Baldini: “Special lads, they’re just too good.”
