Antonio Conte bust his nose celebrating Italy’s opening goal

There's no Andrea Pirlo. There's no Claudio Marchisio. There's also no Marco Verratti.

But should we ever write off an Italian side at a major tournament? Absolutely not. Playing 'Everybody's dark horse™', Belgium, an Azzurri side that nobody really expected to do well at Euro 2016 found themselves taking a first half lead. Emanuele Giaccherini, picked out with a brilliant pass from Leonardo Bonucci, made no mistake as he slotted past Thibaut Courtois. But never mind the fact that an un-fancied Italy side were leading against the highest ranked team in the competition, just look what the goal did to Antonio Conte... https://twitter.com/SNFaizalKhamisa/status/742441088095539200 It may have only been a trickle of claret, but as the Chelsea-bound manager pressed a tissue against his bloodied nose, plenty of folk speculated what had caused it. Then we found out... https://twitter.com/ankitpathak04/status/742443884916015104 Right in the thick of the Italian celebrations, it seems Mr Conte got a smack in the nose in amidst the jubilant scenes. He didn't seem too impressed but hey, at least it amused plenty of viewers. https://twitter.com/Siya90/status/742440418386808832 https://twitter.com/CriminalCosta/status/742442111698669568 https://twitter.com/giuliofru/status/742444763715108864
