Italy's stars destroyed their dressing room after the humiliating defeat to North Macedonia.

The reigning European champions lost 1-0 to the Balkan side in Thursday's World Cup qualifying play-off semi-final and were shock knocked out of the trip to Qatar 2022.


Aleksandar Trajkovski's winning goal in the second minute of added time sent the Azzurri into Renzo Barbera and frustrations seemed to boil over after the referee's final whistle.

Roberto Mancini's players took their anger out on the Palermo dressing room.

Corriere dello Sport shared a video showing the dressing room in a catastrophic state. Plastic bottles and other items were thrown everywhere.

There was also plenty of food left on the floor by the Euro 2020 winners, as the Italian media described its situation as a "real disgrace" and "complete disrespect".

It is not the first time Italy have left behind a devastated dressing room as they did the same at Wembley after beating England in last year's Euro final.

Of course, the atmosphere was completely different in London as the Italians celebrated heartily behind the scenes.

A party broke out and there were cans of beer everywhere, as well as bottles of wine and champagne. /Telegrafi/
