LONDON: Italy won the European Championship for the first time since 1968 when Gianluigi Donnarumma saves two British punishments on the way to a shootout victory 3-2 after the team has drawn an extra 1-1 draw on Sunday.
The giant guard was saved from Sancho Jadon and Bukayo Saka after Marcus Rashford crashed into a post, like Federico Bernardeschi, Leonardo Bonucci and Domenico Berardi all scored for Italy.
As happened: Italy vs England, Euro 2020 Finalluke Shaw has given England dreams starting with extraordinary goals after two minutes but Italy, who barely responded to anything that responded to the first half, gradually took orders when the host was sitting and leveled up Bonucci after 67 minutes.
It was the first final which was decided on a penalty since Czechoslovakia beat West Germany in 1976 and will be celebrated wild in Italy after they lost in the final in 2000 and 2012.

However, heartbreaking for most of the 67,000 Wembley crowds when England appeared short in their first final final since they won the World Cup 55 years ago.
It all started very well when Harry Kane spread a wide ball to Kieran Trippier and he immediately paid off the coach Gareth Gareth Southgate to remember him by sending a cross bait that arrived above the hammer at the post for his first international purpose.

The sharp Shotengland guard Jordan Pickford was not disturbed when Crisp Federico Chiesa’s shot went wide and the effort blocked by Ciro, all the Italians had to show half-broken.
The defense was drilled by England, who had just conceded one goal, through a Danish free kick, in six previous tournament matches, holding them with the length of the arm and Italian frustration was concluded by the Bonucci Back Center, letting the wild fly from 35 meters with the last.
Half kick – a lot to disgust his teammate.

It paid dividends when Bonucci pounced from close range after Pickford had changed the header Andrea Belotti to a post.
England could not have complaints, after almost inviting their opponents and offered almost nothing in the attack, and they would be a bit relieved to go to extra time.

So it goes to a fine, where English weapons fail and Italy takes glory.
