Italy must reach penalties, but from the spot they reach the final. The Azzurri beat Spain 4 to 2 on penalties, after 1 to 1 in regulation time with the goals in the 60th from Federico Chiesa and Alvaro Morata ten minutes from the 90th. At Wembley it is again the blue party and Italy returns here on Sunday evening for the final against the winner of the match between England and Denmark.
«Very tough game, Spain was a great team that played very well. They put us in trouble at the beginning, we found the right coordinates.
We knew there was to suffer. It was a very open game »said coach Roberto Mancini. «The merits are of the boys. There is still one ».
For the first time, Italy faces a team that has more ball possession than the Azzurri. Difficult to enter the game, to find spaces, very difficult to get to the goal. The best of the first half is Gigio Donnarumma fundamental until the end. After the advantage Mancini tried to change the team to defend the result. The draw of a Spain that had more ball possession and played even better than the Azzurri had a bad blow.
Here is the sequence of penalties that start badly for Locatelli’s shot saved. Dani Olmo goes out. Belotti, Gerard Moreno, Bonucci, Thiago and Bernardeschi score. The penalty from Morata was saved and the decisive shot by Jorginho scored.
Raffaella Carrà too, on whose notes the Azzurri warmed up, would have sung party and not fiesta.
