Sharjah24 – Reuters: Roberto Mancini believes that Italy proved their doubters wrong by reaching the final of Euro 2020, but admitted they had to suffer to reach their first major tournament final in nine years.
The Azzurri drew 1-1 with Spain at Wembley but were dominated in terms of possession, having just 35 percent of the ball, and shots, with seven to the their opponents' 16, before triumphing 4-2 on penalties.
Spain coach Luis Enrique said he had no complaints over his side's Euro 2020 semi-final exit, insisting he will only be congratulating his players for their efforts in the tournament.
Italy will face Denmark or England in the final on Sunday (July 11) as they bid to win their first European Championship title since 1968 in their first final appearance since a 4-0 defeat to Spain at Euro 2012.
