<p><strong>MILAN</strong> - On Sunday, the Italy Under-17 team coached by Carmine Nunziata will face the Netherlands in the final of the Under-17 European Championship in Ireland.</p> <p>Five players from the Inter Elite Academy are in this Azzurrini squad who are going on this extraordinary run. They are <strong>Lorenzo</strong> <strong>Moretti</strong> (defender, born in 2002), <strong>Lorenzo</strong> <strong>Pirola</strong> (defender, born in 2002), <strong>Niccolò</strong> <strong>Squizzato</strong> (midfielder, born in 2002), <strong>Nicholas</strong> <strong>Bonfanti</strong> (forward, born in 2002) and <strong>Sebastiano</strong> <strong>Esposito</strong> (forward, born in 2002).</p> <p>Italy have been perfect so far with the young Nerazzurri players making their contributions. There were three wins in the group stage (3-1 against Germany, Bonfanti and Esposito among the goals, 2-1 against Austria, Esposito scored and 4-1 against Spain, Moretti, Pirola and Esposito on the scoresheet). In the quarter-final, they beat Portugal 1-0 before a great comeback against France in the semi-final. Italy won 2-1 after Esposito equalised with a magnificent free kick. The forward made his senior debut this season against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League when he became <strong><a href="https://www.inter.it/en/news/66877">the youngest Inter player in European competition.</a></strong></p> <p>Their achievements so far have seen the Italy Under-17s qualify automatically for the next Under-17 World Cup. On Sunday at 17:30 CEST, the final against the Dutch will kick off and we wish the best of luck to our five players and the Azzurrini!</p> <p> </p>
