Post-Match Reaction

Roberto Mancini, Italy coach: “The guys were amazing. I have no words for them; this is a wonderful squad. This game was always going to be difficult, and after their early goal even more so, but we dominated from then on. You have to have a little luck on penalties and I’m a little sorry for England because they also played a great tournament.”

Gianluigi Donnarumma, Italy goalkeeper: “We have done something extraordinary. We are delighted. We didn’t give them an inch. You all know where we started. We are a fantastic team and we deserve this.”

Gareth Southgate, England coach: “We are hugely disappointed. I think the players have been an absolute credit; they have given everything they possibly could. Tonight was exactly the same; they have run themselves into the ground.”

Harry Kane, England captain: “The boys couldn’t have given more. Penalties are the worst feeling in the world when you lose. It’s been a fantastic tournament – we should be proud, hold our heads up high. It’s going to hurt now, it’s going to hurt for a while.”
