Europe vs Italy: How to watch the group match of the 2024 European Football Championship for free on TV and live stream

• On the second matchday of Group B, Europe will face Italy.
• The game will kick off at 21:00 in the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen.

There will be an absolute cracker at the 2024 European Championships on Thursday evening. Europe and Italy will meet in Group B on the second match day. The duel will take place from 9 p.m. in the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen.

The Spanish national team started the tournament with a furious 3-0 win against Croatia. They did not have the huge ball possession that they have had in previous years. Instead, they had some well-played chances and an outstanding goalkeeper in Unai Simon. They will now face a tough opponent against Italy. They lost their last duel at a European Championship against the Azzurri – in the semi-finals after a penalty shootout.

The Italians have good memories of the encounter, as they were able to secure the title in the final. They also got off to a good start in the tournament with a 2-1 win. Only Federico Dimarco’s sweaty throw-in posed a serious threat to the Albanians. After catching up in the first half, there were also a few missed chances in the second half. Will Europe get the revenge they have been longing for or will Italy pave the way to winning the group? This exciting match will be shown free of charge on ZDF today.
