It’s a reality.  Italy not only winning the UEFA Euro 2020 Quarterfinal defeating Belgium, but also qualifying to the Semifinals!   Italy defeated Belgium on Friday 2 July 2021 at the Munich Stadium.  Moreover, Italy unbeaten in 32 games!    Italy will play the Semifinal against Spain on Tuesday 6 July in Wembley.  Sure, we must credit Italy Head Coach Roberto Mancini for having rebuilt this powerful Italian team.

✅   UEFA Euro 2020 Quarterfinal: Result BELGIUM 1 – 2 ITALY, Friday 2 July 2021

Forza Italia! ❤️❤️❤️ Forza Azzurri 💙💙💙

Mancini celebrating the victory saying, “We deserved to win.  My lads were extraordinary, even if they had to dig in towards the end because of fatigue. But they truly were excellent, and we could have even scored a few more goals.  We had no minimum target, but we wanted to do our best. The road is still long.   We now need to remain calm and recuperate because our next match will be very difficult: Spain are a great team.”

Sadly, the only sour note of the evening was the injury of Leonardo Spinazzola.  Mancini said that “It seems to be a bad one, the way it happened wasn’t nice. Seeing him in tears really got to me.”

Mancini: “We were extraordinary, but the road is still long”. Bonucci: “We're becoming a really good team”

 

 

Talking about Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci, five years ago, he partnered with Giorgio Chiellini and stopped Lukaku, contributing to the Azzurri’s first win at EURO 2016.   This time, Leonardo Bonucci was, once again, a key figure against Belgium in a win that took Italy through to the semi-finals. He had a goal disallowed, he fought for every ball and he showed once again that he is one of the leaders of this team. “Nights like this tell me that we’re becoming a really good team. We showed solidity, a spirit of sacrifice and that Italian heart. Now, we will rest and go again at Wembley. We believe!”

Italy and Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne silencing his critics elegantly with a goal.   Insigne scored a stunning solo goal and a performance that earned him the Star of the Match award.  Insigne, saying,  “It was one of my most important goals. We’re in the semis because we suffered together – even those that didn’t play – and the coach is the one that has instilled this mentality. We’re having a great tournament and I am putting myself at the disposal of the team. I know I didn’t have my best game against Austria, but the important is that we showed, all together, that we can go a long way.” The thoughts of the Azzurri number 10 then went out to Leonardo Spinazzola, who was forced off with what looked like a serious injury: “I feel for him because if he hadn’t gone off, he’d have won the Star of the Match award. I went over to console him because I saw him in tears. I hope that he can recover because he’s a really important player for us.”

46% Ball Possession BELGIUM and 54% Ball Possession ITALY

            Belgium 1 – 2 Italy
45′ Romelu Lukaku(pen)            31′ Nicolò Barella
.                                                                         44′ Lorenzo Insigne

Mission accomplished.  Italy defeated Belgium currently ranked the world’s number one, having not lost this year.  Italy now reaching 32 games unbeaten. Italy  win the UEFA Euro 2020 Quarterfinals on Friday 2 July 2021 at the Football Arena Munich in Germany and will play the Semifinals against Spain on Tuesday 6 July in Wembley. Italy making history winning five consecutive matches at the European Championships for their first time ever: it is the joint-longest streak for any side in the competition – along France (1984), Netherlands (among ’88 and ‘92) and Czech Republic (among 2000 and 2004).

The Italians  kneel before the Belgium game but they have made clear it is a gesture of goodwill to their opponents, rather than an endorsement of the Black Lives Matter movement. Sad news for Italy with Leonardo Spinazzola suffering a serious knee injury.  Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku plays for Inter Milan and in the 2020-21 season scored 24 goals in 36 matches winning the Scudetto for the first time in 11 years

✅ Italian Serie A Players with 🇧🇪 Belgium

  • Inter forward Romelu Lukaku (Belgium) 45+2 goal (pen), played all game

Lukaku converting the penalty….

In the 60th minute, Lukaku so close to score and he failed “just unbelieable.”
