Yesterday, the football players of the Italian national team, who triumphed in the European Football Championship, did not forget about their teammate Leonardo Spinazzola, who played excellently in the tournament and was one of the leaders until he suffered a foot injury in the match against Belgium. The 28-year-old defender was given the opportunity to be the first to receive the champion's medal. When the trophy was presented to the team, L. Spinazzola was also not left on the sidelines – his teammate carried him on his back so that the athlete would be in the midst of the events. 🇮🇹 An amazing gesture from the Italian players and staff to send injured Leonardo Spinazzola to be the first who gets his winners' medal. Class. 👏🔝🏆 pic.twitter.com/wIuid0psNP — OGCOM (@OGambling) July 11, 2021 🇮🇹🔝🏆 The Italian players carrying injured Spinazzola so he could 'jump' with the rest of the lads. Impressive.
