Italy coach Roberto Mancini expressed satisfaction after his men got back to winning ways on Sunday, beating Belgium 2-1 to finish third in the UEFA Nations League thanks to goals by Nicolò Barella and Domenico Berardi.
The European champions' 2-1 defeat to Spain in Wednesday's semi-final ended a record 37-match unbeaten run.
"All the lads did well," Mancini said.
"We made a few changes, but the team played well regardless.
This is a positive thing".
