The programme returned from its break beneath a fresh graphic stretched across the studio screens.
ITALIA VS UCRAINA
QUALIFICAZIONI EURO 2024!
Following that, the cameras in the studios drifted back to the host, who smiled toward them.
"Bentornati.(Welcome back)"
He rested both forearms on the desk before leaning forward.
"We've spent most of tonight talking about a lot of things with a country, but it's time we move on to the pending situation for tonight."
He looked between the two former internationals seated beside him.
"But enough theory."
A small smile crossed his face.
"In about a couple of hours, we might finally get another answer, so I want to hear your unbridled thoughts!"
Behind them, the graphics changed as a photograph of the San Siro appeared, floodlights glowing against the Milan night.
"Italy. Ukraine."
"The Giuseppe Meazza, all the cues for a game that could be a very good watch."
"So..." the host continued.
"Where do we begin?"
