Gattuso Stands Up for Donnarumma as Italy Rally Through Tallinn: A Roadmap to Euro 2026 Playoffs

Italy clinched a 3-1 win over Estonia in Tallinn, with Moise Kean opening the scoring before an injury forced him off. Matteo Retegui and Riccardo Orsolini added goals, while Biagio Esposito celebrated his Italy debut with a first international goal. Gianluigi Donnarumma had a rare mistake on a cross that Estonia converted, but Gattuso emphasized the need to keep creating chances and maintain intensity. The win keeps Italy in the hunt for playoff football, though changes are on the horizon as Bastoni is suspended and Kean's injury looms. The playoff opponents are likely to include Sweden or Moldova, with a tight battle for second in Group Nine.
