Today's Euro 2024 qualifier match between Italy and Ukraine, which will take place at the Milan San Siro stadium (kickoff at 9:45 PM Kyiv time), will be the ninth in history for the rivals.

Unfortunately, avoiding defeat has only been possible twice for our team. On June 6, 2006, in Lausanne, Switzerland, at the «Stade Olympique de la Pontaise», the blue-and-yellow team played a draw with the «Squadra Azzurra»—0:0, and on October 10, 2018, in Genoa, at the «Luigi Ferraris» stadium, another draw was recorded, but this time with a score of 1:1. All other matches ended in victories for the opponent.

It is also worth noting that in these eight matches, Ukraine's national team managed to score only three goals against Italy. This achievement can be attributed to Andriy Pyatov, Andriy Shevchenko, and Ruslan Malinovskyi.
