Long before this event started, I had chosen Italy as the sole candidate for European champions this season, this belief became even more rooted, when the team managed by Roberto Mancini performed perfectly in the group stage.
Last night's victory re-engraved the long winning streak of "Gli Azzurri" the last thirty matches without a defeat record is a new record for Italy, the same number of wins had been achieved in the old decade (1935-1939) when coach Vittorio Pozzo was in charge.
One more thing to remember, during the last thousand minutes of the match, the Italian goal is still a virgin aka never conceded a goal
this is just my belief, after all the ball is still round, meaning that anything is possible, we have even witnessed a lot of surprises that happened on the stage of world-class football matches
What about your predictions...?
