“The fact that we are here today is not only because we scored one penalty more than our opponents, but because we share one of the most beautiful feelings in life: friendship.” Was signed: Giorgio Chiellini, proud captain of the Italian team, who became European champion on Sunday.
Chiellini spoke his almost poetic words in front of, among others, Sergio Mattarella, the equally proud president of Italy, who put the new European champions in the limelight in ‘his’ Palazzo del Quirinale.
“I want to congratulate the best player of the European Championship, Gianluigi Donnarumma,” said Mattarella. “That second save, on the last penalty, made millions of people happy. Not just in Italy.”
