Inter Milan’s treble chances are still very much on after it won 2-1 at Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.

Italy has recovered from conceding the quickest goal in European Championship history after just 23 seconds to open its title defense with a 2-1 win over Albania.

The latest international break is proving costly for European clubs like Spanish powerhouses Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Italy's transformation from a team that failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup into an attack-minded juggernaut can be traced back to Serie A teams like Atalanta and Sassuolo.
