The Big Disgrace Bryan Cristante has slammed his Italy team-mates after their Euro 2024 elimination at the hands of Switzerland.

Italy lost 2-0 to Switzerland in the last-16 of Euro 2024, bringing to an end their defence of the trophy. Goals from Remo Freuler and Ruben Vargas have booked the Swiss a quarter-final spot against the winner of England’s clash with Slovakia.

Cristante has said that his side were deservedly knocked out of the tournament, having already scraped through the group stages. It remains to be seen if consequences will follow for manager Luciano Spalletti but the Roma midfielder did not hold back in his scathing review of the performance.

At the level of organisation there was so much difference and when there is so much difference then the energy is lost, there is nothing to say and we go home deservedly.”

He added: “Preparation? I don’t know, there are many things that didn’t go (well). We played so badly compared to the others and it is therefore down to many factors.”
