Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said: "Losing penalty shoot outs isn't just an English disease. The Italians have had more than their fair share of spot kick heartbreak.

"It's got to the point where you have to wonder whether it's too big a psychological hurdle to overcome."

Former darling of AC Milan Andriy Shevchenko is 2/1 to score at any time.

Weinberg added: "Shevchenko will want to remind the Italians exactly what they'll be missing next season. He could break Italian hearts by delivering one final knock out blow to his adopted country."
