Italy 1-1 England (3-2 on penalties) Euro 2020 final, winning their second championship

The UEFA Euro 2020 final between Italy and England marked a milestone in football history. This was not just a clash between two football superpowers, but also a confrontation between two cultures, two histories.

The match took place at Wembley Stadium, which holds countless sports memories. In the face of the enthusiasm of thousands of supporters, both Italy and England teams contributed to a thrilling and emotional game for the audience. The match ended with a 1-1 draw after 120 tense minutes, forcing both teams to settle the face-off with a nerve-wracking penalty shootout.

In the end, Italy emerged as the European champions for the second time in history, after overcoming England with a score of 3-2 in the penalty shootout. This victory not only marked a new chapter in Italy’s football history but also showcased the strength and persistence of the Azzurri players. With this title, Italy entered the top 4 teams with the most European championship titles, equal with France and only one title less than Spain and Germany.

However, the final left many unhappy aftermaths. England players (Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka) faced racial discrimination after failing in the penalty shootout, sparking much controversy. This reminded us that, while football can create thrilling and emotional matches, respect for each other is still necessary.

In the end, win or lose, each team has left their mark in the hearts of fans. The Euro 2020 final between Italy and England will surely be remembered as a symbol of passion, strength, and sportsmanship.
