Former Roma star Ciccio Graziani has disclosed that Norway showed more superiority over Italy in Sunday’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Norway won 4-1 at San Siro stadium last night to reach the World Cup, with Italy now facing a playoff in March to make next summer’s tournament.
Speaking with RAI, Graziani stated that Italy must do better to qualify through the playoffs for the 2026 World Cup.

“I hope we’re not the same as tonight. The first half was excellent, it gave us hope, and winning was important. It saddens me that this team, when it struggles a bit, can’t recover.
“And this is something (coach Rino) Gattuso needs to carefully evaluate. If we continue like this, we’re really in danger again.
“Beyond the deserved first place, in the second half we saw a different Norway. And that’s a team that’s stronger than us. We need to admit that and understand that we have more to give and little else to say.”
