The noise inside the Meazza went up a level when the Italian players came out of the tunnel.
On the pitch, the English squad, which was already into their warm-up, glanced over with mild curiosity, the atmosphere reflecting their thoughts as they watched the home side spread on the pitch.
Kyle Walker watched the Italian end of the stadium and shook his head slightly.

Marcus Rashford also laughed but as he did, his eyes moved across the Italian players spreading out toward the far end of the pitch, finding a very familiar face.
"Huh. His name sounded Spanish though," he said, half to himself.
"Who?" Kane had appeared beside him, shocking Rashford a bit.
"Damn, make me aware first," Marcus said and nodded in Leo's direction without pointing.
