Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira would be surprised if Italy were to reach the Euro 2020 final.

The Azzurri have made a near perfect start to their group stage campaign, winning their first two matches against Turkey and Switzerland 3-0.

The two dominant successes mean that Roberto Mancini's side are now being talked about as one of the favourites to win the competition.

But Vieira thinks fans should not get carried away.

Vieira told ITV: "I think the first two games that they played were two easy games.

"Of course… you have to [beat] what is in front of you, but I still have doubts they can go to the end.

"I believe that they lack intensity, lack power, pace, to be even more dangerous going forward, so I'm still going to wait.

"I think it's still a bit too early to take Italy into consideration, that they can go to the end."
