Today's Euro 2024 qualifier match between Ukraine and Italy, which will take place at the BayArena in Leverkusen, Germany (kickoff at 9:45 PM Kyiv time), marks a milestone as it is their 10th encounter in history.

Unfortunately, our team managed to avoid defeat only twice. On June 6, 2006, in Lausanne, Switzerland, at the Stade Olympique de la Pontaise, Ukraine played a draw with the "Squadra Azzurra" — 0:0. On October 10, 2018, in Genoa, at Luigi Ferraris Stadium, another draw was recorded, but this time with a score of 1:1. The rest of the matches ended in victories for their opponent.

It is also worth noting that in these nine matches, Ukraine managed to score only four goals against Italy. This achievement can be attributed to Andriy Pyatov, Andriy Shevchenko, Ruslan Malinovskyi, and Andriy Yarmolenko.
