Frederico Chiesa was elected by UEFA as the best on the pitch in the semi-final with Spain (1-1, 4-2 gp). In the end, the Juventus winger took the opportunity to make a special dedication.
“It was a very complicated game, Spain are a top team, but we proved that we are a strong group. I dedicate this award to Leonardo Spinazzola and the victory too. He was going to help us a lot tonight, but these are things that happen in football… We hope to make him happy in the final too», he explained.
Remember that Leonardo Spinazzola was the usual starter on the left side of the Italian defense. However, an Achilles tendon rupture suffered against Belgium in the quarter-finals will keep the Roma player off the pitch for a long period of time.
