According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pio Esposito will start in the lineup against Belgium, while Barella will reach a milestone in the number of caps for the national team.

La Gazzetta dello Sport, under the headline "Pio's Night," reported that Pio Esposito will start in today's match against Belgium, which will be the first game under Roberto Mancini's leadership during his second stint as Italy national team coach. Internazionale's forward will be partnered up front by M. Kean, along with either N. Zaniolo or Cambiaso. The newspaper believes that Pio Esposito is an important figure for Italy both now and in the future. The 2005-born striker currently averages one goal every 93.6 minutes, having scored 5 goals in 9 official and friendly matches.

La Gazzetta dello Sport also stated that Barella is an indispensable part of Italy's midfield. He scored against Belgium in Munich in the Euro 2020 quarter-final. Barella will work with Mancini again; under his leadership, he is the active player with the most goals—8, just one fewer than the recently retired Immobile. Today, Barella's number of caps for the national team will surpass Sandro Mazzola's record, and a minute of silence in memory of Mazzola will be held before the match.
