Italian footballers on Sunday won the penalty shootout 3:2 against England after 120 minutes of battle on the field, as the European Championship final ended 1:1, reported lrytas.lt. Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma saved two shots during the 11-meter penalty shootout, including the last shot from England player Bukayo Saka. After the match, England's coach Gareth Southgate urged not to blame the unlucky in the series. "We are very disappointed. The players gave everything they could. In the second half, we couldn't maintain possession, but that's not a blame. It was an absolute joy to work with the players, they went further than anyone expected from us. Please don't blame B. Saka for not scoring. It was my decision. I chose based on how the players looked in training. I chose who would take the penalties and no one else is to blame for that," said G. Southgate.
