Incredible final of the Euro and fabulous Italy which was offered last night in the temple of Wembley, at the expense of the "Three Lions" (1-1, 3-2 tab), the second title of European champion of its story after that of 1968. However, everything had started in the worst way for the Italians who had to muster all they had of resilience to crucify, on penalties, an England which believed in it so much.
Italy is once again on the roof of Europe, 53 years after its first coronation in the competition. Roberto Mancini's men, led by the score in the second minute against an England long in front physically, needed the shots on goal to win the 2021 edition And it was Gianluigi Donnarumma who was the strong man of this event , by stopping two opposing shots on goal. Italy extends its invincibility to 34 matches in all competitions. England may regret having opted for an overly defensive approach after opening the scoring. Now she only has her eyes to cry on!
In the end, the most playful team won. The one behind which a whole continent or almost had lined up before the match. That of a coach, Roberto Mancini, who was able to give it back its lost luster after the fiasco of non-qualification for the 2018 World Cup (34 games unbeaten now). That of two unbreakable grandpas, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini, 70 years old between them.
For the Squadra Azzura, the return to the country promises to be spectacular! _AF
