We did it: soccer’sItaly managed to bring home the title of European champions that had been missing since way back in 1968. The national team led by Roberto Mancini got the better of Gareth Southgate ’sEngland at the end of a match that ended 1-1 after regulation time, with goals from Luke Shaw in the 2nd minute and Leonardo Bonucci in the 67th minute, and then ended in penalty kicks, 3-2, with goals by Domenico Berardi, Bonucci and Federico Bernardeschi for the Azzurri, and Harry Kane and Harry Maguire for the English, and with decisive saves by Gianluigi Donnarumma on Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka that delivered the cup into the hands of captain Giorgio Chiellini.
