Over 11.5 million television viewers in Italy watched the national team's EURO 2024 opener, won 2-1 against Albania, last night. 10.5 million (a 56% viewing share) tuned in to Rai 1, with almost 1.2 million people (a 6% viewing share) following the match on Sky Sport. A superb start, therefore, for the European champions, as they prepare for other Magical Nights.
