They reached the Euro 2000 and Euro 2012 finals, but lost to France and Spain, respectively. Italy, renowned for producing some of the world’s best defenders, are always among the top contenders at any major tournament.
On the other side of the pitch stands the Czech Republic, a country that achieved glory in the UEFA European Championship under the name Czechoslovakia at Euro 1976. They defeated West Germany on penalties in the final to win their maiden international tournament.
Czechoslovakia was peacefully separated into two countries in 1993 and the Czech Republic hasn't missed a UEFA European Championship since first participating at Euro 1996. That edition was their best performance in the competition, reaching the final before losing to Germany.
