Leonardo Bonucci has apologised on behalf of the Italian national team after leaked photos showed the state they left their dressing room in after their play-off defeat to North Macedonia.

Photos circulating on social media showed empty plastic bottles, used tissues, food waste and cigarette butts left on the floor of the dressing room at Palermo's Stadio Renzo Barbera. 

Italian players were frustrated after Aleksandar Trajkovski's stoppage time winner ensured Italy will miss their second successive World Cup, while North Macedonia will face Portugal in a match to decide who will travel to Qatar.
