Italy, equal bitter but historic: 36 games without defeat, equaled the record of Brazil

A draw, the one against Switzerland, which leaves a bad taste in the mouth for the wasted opportunities and the multiplication of difficulties in terms of qualification. But that also consigns Italy to history: with tonight’s result, in fact, the Azzurri have achieved their thirty-sixth consecutive useful result, equaling the longest series of matches without defeats of a major national team in the world, established by Brazil between 1993 and 1996.
