«I was very curious about what my feelings were in view of these European Championships. I see that the sensations and situations I relive are similar to 2006. The adrenaline has increased compared to the first days because I want to make my small contribution."

Thus the head of the delegation of the Italian national team Gigi Buffon a few days before the start of Euro 2024. The former world champion goalkeeper does not hide confidence, also admitting that on the eve of the tournament he finds analogies in the "atmosphere" with the World Cup won by Lippi's national team in 2006.

“In my opinion this is a national team that is probably underestimated,” said Buffon. Adding: «Instead, it is very competitive, first of all due to the human depth of the boys who make it up, given that they have a great sense of belonging to the national team and to this shirt».
