Zambrotta off to Euro 2008

The pre-selection for the Italian squad for Euro 2008 was announced on Tuesday and Gianluca Zambrotta is one of the names on the list, the eighth Barça player to get a call up for the competition that starts on June 7.


Italian manager Roberto Donadoni has named 24 players, but one of these will be displaced when he announces the definitive list to UEFA on May 28. Zambrotta is in the squad for now, but there is still a small chance that he may eventually miss out on the trip to Austria and Switzerland.

Same for Thuram, Abidal and Henry

Portugal and Spain make it count

But the Spanish and Portuguese squads are the final ones, so Deco, Puyol, Xavi and Iniesta will definitely be competing for the Henri Delaunay trophy.

Italy and France to meet again
With Zambrotta’s place as good as confirmed, there is set to be a clash of Barça players when Italy and France renew rivalries in June in Group C. Spain and Portugal, the other nations with direct Barça interest, however, are in separate groups.
