Italy-Germany, the return of a classic

Make way for the youngsters for tonight's friendly at the Allianz Arena: Conte launches Zaza, Insigne and Bernardeschi from the first minute.

Italy-Germany, the return of a classic

The 4-3 of 1970, the 3-1 of 1982, the 2-0 of 2006 and also the 2-1 of 2012 (less famous but more fitting, given that at the time it was a European match) come to mind. And yet, tonight the challenge in Munich between Italy and Germany is only a friendly. So make way for the youngsters: Conte launches Zaza, Insigne and Bernardeschi from the first minute, 70 years in three.

“It's the last chance to see the young players – said the coach on the eve of the match – then in a month and a half I'll call up. It is to them that I am referring when I say that I seek confirmation from those with little international experience”.

These are the probable formations that will take the field at 20 pm at the Allianz Arena.
