Any football fans seeking out international tickets know that this is by no means an easy feat, especially if the game in question is a key qualifier or in the finals of the tournament. For the finals, you may have considered using the UEFA ticketing portal, but beware of the pitfalls of this route.
The first tranche of tickets offered for the major finals of the UEFA European Championships are made prior to the draw, which creates a rather absurd situation of millions of fans eagerly applying for tickets for a game where the identities of the two competing teams are entirely unknown.
Subsequent ticket releases by UEFA are done once the finals draw has been made, and the level of interest then goes through the roof, and you have very little chance of coming out of this particular lottery with tickets.
With SeatPick, your chances of getting the tickets you require for any match are far higher.
In fact, we’d go one better and state that we have availability beyond that of any other relevant site for even the most crucial of matches. This is because we work with hundreds of trusted ticket resellers, meaning our users can access the aggregated sales from all these locations in one place.
Our platform is easy to use and comes with a purchase guarantee and no annoying hidden fees.
Denmark vs Italy UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Denmark, as previous winners of the UEFA European Championship and with a strong following, are always a team that huge numbers of fans will look to watch, live and in person.
1964 saw the Danes make their finals bow in the tournament, and they finished fourth, albeit out of four teams. Twenty years later, at Euro 1984, their Semi-Final finish was far more impressive.
Denmark thumped Yugoslavia 5-0 in Lyon and then came from two goals down to defeat Belgium in Strasbourg to clinch a place in the final four. There, they were unfortunate to be knocked out by Spain on penalties.
1988 proved something of a disaster, with Denmark losing to Spain, West Germany, and Italy in their group, and therefore finished bottom of the pile. Euro 1992 would provide an entirely opposite type of performance.
Despite not qualifying for the finals in Sweden, the Danes were invited back due to the disqualification of Yugoslavia due to the war in the Balkans, and Richard Moller Nielsen’s side made the most of this second chance saloon.
A win in their final group stage game against France earned them safe passage to the Semi-Finals, and there they beat the Netherlands after an entertaining 2-2 draw.
In the final, they took on unified Germany, who had won the FIFA World Cup two years prior, and it was Manchester United keeper Peter Schmeichel who was to thank for early saves that kept them in the game before John Jensen thumped home an opener.
Kim Vilford doubled the lead with 12 minutes to go, and Denmark held on to secure one of the most surprising international title wins ever.
Euro 2020 saw Denmark again impress in the finals, this despite the fact they lost their opening game to Finland, in a game that saw midfielder Christian Eriksen suffer a near-fatal cardiac event.
Denmark recovered to defeat Russia in their final group game to secure a spot in the Round of 16, where they thrashed Wales 4-0 before beating the Czech Republic to set up a Semi-Final against England.
Here, they even took the lead through Mikkel Damsgaard at Wembley Stadium before a Simon Kjaer own goal leveled matters before Harry Kane scored the extra time winner for the Three Lions.
Italy have one of the most successful records in the history of the UEFA European Championships and even won the competition on the first occasion they qualified for the finals.
That success came in 1968, when they beat the Soviet Union in the Semi-Finals, albeit after a coin toss, before overcoming Yugoslavia in a replay after the first game ended in a 1-1 draw. The replay saw legendary forward Gigi Riva among the goals in a 2-0 success in Rome.
They once again hosted the tournament in 1980 and finished fourth, and in 1988, they reached the Semi-Finals. Euro 2000 saw them face France in the final, and Marco Delvecchio even gave Dino Zoff’s side the lead before Arsenal forward Sylvain Wiltord leveled four minutes into injury time to push the game into extra time.
There it was, David Trezeguet, who settled the game with an emphatic finish after 103 minutes in Amsterdam.
Italy’s Euro 2012 UEFA European Championship Final defeat was a little more clear-cut, with Spain thrashing them 4-0 in Kyiv.
Roberto Mancini’s Italy side in Euro 2020 would finally see them pick up their second title, some 52 years after their first. Their campaign started with a 100% group stage record following wins over Turkey, Switzerland, and Wales.
Knockout phase successes against Austria, Belgium, and Spain set up a mouthwatering final with England at Wembley Stadium. Manchester United full-back Luke Shaw put the Three Lions ahead before Leonardo Bonucci equalized midway through the second half.
Italy would go on to win the penalty shoot-out after Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka all fluffed their lines.
Denmark vs Italy Head-to-Head
Denmark and Italy have twice previously met in the UEFA European Championship finals, the first of which came at Euro 88.
Alessandro Altobelli and Luigi De Agostini scored in a 2-0 Italy win in Cologne, and their second clash occurred at Euro 2004, where the two sides played out a goalless draw in Guimaraes.
