The reigning champions exit was one of the big round of 16 surprises, along with Türkiye’s progression to the quarter-finals; all the other games went as predictions would have suggested. With eight National Teams still in the running in Germany, there are &lt;strong&gt;18 players&lt;/strong&gt; who competed in Serie A last season still in the tournament, from the 6 for Switzerland to just Leao for Portugal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first round of 16 clash was the worst for Azzurri fans. Yakin’s &lt;strong&gt;Switzerland&lt;/strong&gt; side with their 3-4-2-1 set up beat Italy by making the most of their &lt;strong&gt;Bologna boys&lt;/strong&gt; in the midfield with &lt;strong&gt;Ndoye&lt;/strong&gt; down the right wing and &lt;strong&gt;Freuler&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Aebischer&lt;/strong&gt;. It was Remo &lt;strong&gt;Freuler&lt;/strong&gt;, eight seasons in the Italian top flight, who opened the scoring before Michel Aebischer provided the assist for Vargas to double the lead. &lt;strong&gt;Sommer&lt;/strong&gt; (Inter) had little to do for the Swiss, only making one save, as did &lt;strong&gt;Rodriguez &lt;/strong&gt;(Torino), just as solid as the rest of the defence. AC Milan’s Okafor spent another 90 minutes on the bench, having not played yet at the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;d62290d8-9eb2-42f3-b440-6983dd851864&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d62290d8-9eb2-42f3-b440-6983dd851864&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2c2ec6a2-514a-4218-8981-090bc2d99d3f/Sito_HERO_svizzera.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;d62290d8-9eb2-42f3-b440-6983dd851864&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d62290d8-9eb2-42f3-b440-6983dd851864&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Host nation, &lt;strong&gt;Germany&lt;/strong&gt;, didn’t hang about with securing their spot in the quarter-finals, beating &lt;strong&gt;Denmark&lt;/strong&gt; 2-0 with goals from Havertz and Musiala. The Danes were not able to repeat their Euro 2020 feat of reaching the semi-finals, which they then lost to England. Former AC Milan man, Kjaer, closes out his campaign without picking up any minutes just like Kristensen, who spent the last year at Roma. The Bologna left-back, Kristiansen, on the other hand, played another 15 minutes off the bench against Germany.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the second day of last 16 action, &lt;strong&gt;England&lt;/strong&gt; sent Calzona’s &lt;strong&gt;Slovakia&lt;/strong&gt; packing with a heart-stopping last minute win with goals from two of the Three Lions’ main men, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane. Slovakia with &lt;strong&gt;Lobotka&lt;/strong&gt; (Napoli), &lt;strong&gt;Duda&lt;/strong&gt; (Verona), and former Serie A player, Kucka, in the midfield, missed out on qualification at the death and kissed goodbye to the dream of a history-making finish. Suslov (Hellas Verona) came on in the 61st minute and Gyomber (Salernitana) was also thrown into the fray in injury time to defend the advantage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Georgia and &lt;strong&gt;Kvaratskhelia &lt;/strong&gt;(Napoli) went out to De La Fuente’s &lt;strong&gt;Spain&lt;/strong&gt; side who didn’t give in after the shocking Georgia opener and walked away with four goals and a spot in the quarter-finals where they will face Germany, the only fixture without any Serie A Enilive players.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Deschamps’ &lt;strong&gt;France&lt;/strong&gt; made it through past Belgium thanks to a Vertonghen own goal in the final minutes and another Mike Maignan clean sheet, only having conceded once so far at the Euros. The France starting XI also featured &lt;strong&gt;Hernandez&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Rabiot&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Thuram&lt;/strong&gt;. Giovanni Tedesco’s European journey ends without much joy: Lukaku heads home with no goals and De Ketelaere (Atalanta) walks away having only played 5 minutes of the tournament at the end of the game against the French.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;5303bbba-ab61-4545-8fa4-8cde3e6648e0&#34; data-image-id=&#34;5303bbba-ab61-4545-8fa4-8cde3e6648e0&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/7911e79c-9921-4484-8be9-59f97a077c9e/Sito_HERO_maignan.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;5303bbba-ab61-4545-8fa4-8cde3e6648e0&#34; data-image-id=&#34;5303bbba-ab61-4545-8fa4-8cde3e6648e0&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The clash between &lt;strong&gt;Portugal&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Slovenia&lt;/strong&gt; brought us the first and only round of 16 tie that went to penalties. The hero of the evening in Frankfurt was goalkeeper Diogo Costa who saved three of the three penalties taken to secure the Portugal of Martinez and Cristiano Ronaldo a spot in the quarter-finals. Rossoneri player, &lt;strong&gt;Leao&lt;/strong&gt;, started the game and was subbed off in the 76th minute. On the other side of things, it was a bitter ending for Slovenia with Bijol (Udinese) and ex-star of our league, Ilicic, who played out the final moments of the game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;844e04fe-b29e-4883-9590-1bacb882530f&#34; data-image-id=&#34;844e04fe-b29e-4883-9590-1bacb882530f&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e1927514-ee0f-483e-9e03-0d60a613ad88/Sito_HERO_leao.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;844e04fe-b29e-4883-9590-1bacb882530f&#34; data-image-id=&#34;844e04fe-b29e-4883-9590-1bacb882530f&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the last evening of round of 16 fixtures, the &lt;strong&gt;Netherlands&lt;/strong&gt; showed their talent and bagged a &lt;strong&gt;3-0&lt;/strong&gt; win over Romania with &lt;strong&gt;Reijnders&lt;/strong&gt; (Milan), &lt;strong&gt;De Vrij&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Dumfries&lt;/strong&gt; (Inter) all playing the full 90 minutes.

With Italy sent out by ‘Bologna’s’ Switzerland, the plethora of Serie A Enilive players at the Euros has been thinned out. The Swiss and French are still the sides with the most adopted Italians in their sides
