Comments:

Penalty shoot-out details (Italy went first) 1 – Manuel Locatelli [saved] 2 – Andrea Belotti [scored] 3 – Leonardo Bonucci [scored] 4 – Federico Bernardeschi [scored] 5 – Jorginho [scored] Italy had now won three and lost three of their six penalty shoot-outs at UEFA European Championship finals. The Azzurri had now reached the Final of a major tournament in each of the last seven decades (ten in total). They had now won four of their five semi-finals at UEFA European Championship finals (also 1968, 2000 and 2012) with the only defeat against USSR in 1988.
