The Italy vs Spain tie had to go to the penalties. The decisive penalty was scored by Jorginho with Morata missing his shot at the other end. Since the Euro of 2012. 

It is the first time that Italy has managed to head into an international final! Roberto Mancini, head coach, presided over this remarkable turnaround of events in the match of Italy vs Spain. It was a big improvement on the part of the Italian national football team. The team that failed to be eligible for the 2018 World Cup managed to head into the Euro 2020 final.

On 11th June, Italy started this Euro 2020 campaign with a win against Turkey (3-0). Italy will be either facing Denmark or England in the Euro 2020 final. The final will be held on Wednesday. Italy is by far the favorites to win this year’s Euro Cup. Under Robert Mancini’s leadership and vision, the team looks nothing short of perfect!
