more than 92 per cent of the country is ethnically Italian or white.<\/p>\n<p>This means that out of Italy\u2019s 26 man squad for the Euros, you would statistically expect only 0.39 of their squad players to be black.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In reality, Italy took one black squad player to the Euros \u2013 Moise Kean \u2013 so black players were overrepresented in the Italy squad compared to national
