Italy clinch place at Euro 2020 as Spain made to wait

"I want to thank the fans at the Olimpico for supporting us, even in the first half when we were not brilliant, maybe a little nervous at being back in Rome," said Mancini.

Italy are one of 12 host nations for Euro 2020 with the opening match to be staged at the Stadio Olimpico.

And Mancini said he hoped that four-time world champions Italy could relive the "magical nights" of the 1990 World Cup in Rome.
