Comments:

Turkey had the youngest squad at Euro 2020. Their average age was 24 years and 353 days. Turkey had now lost their opening game in all of their seven appearances at UEFA European Championships and FIFA World Cup finals. They only conceded three goals in their ten qualifying group games for this tournament (scored 18).

Comments:

This was the first time that Italy had scored more than two goals in a game at a UEFA European Championship finals (played 39). Aged 22 years and 106 days, Gianluigi Donnarumma became Italy’s youngest-ever goalkeeper at a major tournament (FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship); previously Giorgio Ghezzi against Belgium in the 1954 World Cup (aged 23 years and 342 days). Italy had now kept a clean sheet in nine consecutive 'A' internationals for the first time since June 1990.
