The European Cup final was staged at Wembley Stadium, and England played at home. Luke Shaw broke the deadlock in the first two minutes, creating the fastest scoring record in the European Cup final. However, in the second half, Bonucci seized the opportunity of corner kick to equalize the score of the Italian team. Both sides failed to rewrite the score again in the 90 minutes and overtime, and could only enter the penalty shoot out. In the penalty shootout war, Italy goalkeeper Donaruma saved the penalty kicks of Sancho and Saca, and England goalkeeper Pikford also saved the penalty kicks of Bellotti and Jozhnio. Finally, Italy won the European Cup 4-3, which was their second championship after 1968. The England team was relegated to the second place, and was unable to realize the dream of "football home".
