Today's Italian papers focus on the various Bianconeri involved in Euro 2000.

The Gazzetta dello Sport picks up on the black and white of Italy, namely Filippo Inzaghi and Alessandro Del Piero. Indeed Juve’s SuperPippo is not looking beyond qualification to the next stage and is fully focused on tonight’s Belgium match: "Our defeat (3-1) in the recent friendly against them is a thing of the past." The Milan football pink also catches up with a disgruntled Del Piero: "Twenty minutes is too little; I don't want to cause a rumpus but I am not used to sitting in the bench. We'll see; I don't want to stoke the fire."

Inzaghi hits out in the Corriere dello Sport: "I will let nobody offend me and all I want is to play well and not let down my friend Christian Vieri. We are up against a tough team in Belgium and if it hadn't been for a goalkeeping howler the scoreline against Sweden would have been even more emphatic. But we are ready to conquer Brussels."

Tuttosport focuses on the Delle Alpi stadium, home to Juve and city rivals Torino: "Delle Alpi open to bidding" is the headline. According to the paper, the City of Turin (owners of the ground) want to establish new lessees and everything should be resolved within the first 10 days of August.
