Italy reached the semi-finals of the Women's Euros for the first time since 1997 on Wednesday by beating Norway 2-1 in Geneva thanks to a double by Cristiana Girelli that included a last-gasp winner with a header.
    "It is a great message for the youth managers and our whole movement," said coach Andrea Soncin.
    "It is the biggest gift that we can give to everyone watching us, including girls and young women who have this passion for football.
    "Now let's enjoy the moment, and then very soon we will start to think about the semi-final.
    "We will battle hard against whoever we face".
    The Azzurre will face the winner of the match between England and Sweden in the last four.
