Roberto Mancini has played down talk about Italy becoming contenders for the European Championships after beating Turkey 3-0 by saying there’s a “long way to go” to Wembley.

The Azzurri got their tournament off to a flying start as three second-half goals clinched victory over their Group A opponents on Friday night, with the strikes coming courtesy of Merih Demiral’s own goal, Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne. Italy have been branded as many pundits’ dark horses for the tournament but Mancini cooled any discussions about becoming contenders for the Wembley final on July 11 after the opening day win.

In his post-match interview, Mancini said: “We had a good game, it was important to start well here in Rome, and I think it is a satisfaction for everyone with us, for the public and all Italians.When pressed about his side’s chances of winning Euro 2020, Mancini said, “There’s still a long way to go, there are still six .”

Italy were frustrated by Turkey during the first-half at the Stadio Olimpico, with the opening match played in front of 16,000 supporters in the Italian capital.
