Euro 2016: Chelsea's €30m target stole the show, as Conte's Italy beat Belgium

Antonio Conte’s Italy produced a tactical masterclass, as the Azzurri hit the ground running at Euro 2016 following their 2-0 victory over highly-fancied Belgium on Monday.

Belgium, the highest ranked side of the 24 teams participating, dominated for long spells of the Group E clash at the Stade de Lyon, but goals in either half from Emanuele Giaccherini and Graziano Pelle ensured Italy start their Euro campaign on a winning note.
