Italy coach Luciano Spalletti insists they deserve their place in Euro2024.

Italy's 0-0 draw with Ukraine, which saw them qualify, was earned with a penalty call for a foul on Mykhaylo Mudryk waved away.

Spalletti said, We didn't steal anything, we didn't just deserve but really deserved to qualify for the European Championship.

If one extrapolates that incident to be against us, it's not right, without looking at the rest of the team's performance.

The match was difficult due to the pressure it had, and that incident may be doubtful, but certainly not as clear as a lot of people want to say. Disappointing."
