Azzurri Appearances: Verratti and Donnarumma break 50

After the matches in March 2023, Bonucci continues to get closer to the podium in the list of appearances: he is in 4th place with 120 matches and is only 6 behind Maldini (126). Behind the captain, Immobile (55, but only 3 appearances since the Euro 2020 final to date) and Insigne (54, last in March 2022) are now being 'hunted down' by Verratti (53) and Donnarumma (52), who have meanwhile overtaken Florenzi (49, only 4 since the Wembley final). For the Italian goalkeeper, by the way, the short-term objective is 58: he would hook Zenga at the 3rd place of the goalkeepers' presences, then the way to climb other steps would be very long, Zoff's 112 and Buffon's 176.

In the scorers' chart, Retegui breaks onto the scene, a goal on his debut and able to repeat on his second outing: 2 goals in 2 matches, his calling card. The active national team striker is Immobile (15), followed by Balotelli (14) and Belotti (12). Below is the summary (active players in capital letters).
