Portugal qualified for the finals of the 2018-19 UEFA Nations League on Saturday with a scoreless draw against Italy at the iconic San Siro stadium.
The hosts dominated the first half but missed several chances to take the lead, with Ciro Immobile twice failing to beat Rui Patricio. Portugal improved after the break, but there would be no goals in this contest.
The European champions came into Saturday's match needing just one point from either this contest or the fixture against Poland to win League A Group 3.
Time for Mancini to Drop Immobile
The Azzurri have undergone a transformation under manager Roberto Mancini, who has the team playing much better football and the fans believing in a bright future, even if the results haven't always gone their way.
