From the results of the group match, several teams showed their strength and momentum to win the championship, such as Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden. They all advanced to the knockout stage with three wins, showing strong offensive and defensive ability and stable state. Among them, Italy has created the longest unbeaten record in the history of the European Cup, with 30 consecutive matches unbeaten, 28 of which won, scored 85 goals and lost only 7 goals. Their lineup is also very balanced, with the iron defense led by veteran Chiellini and Bonucci, the midfield trident composed of Lucatelli, Villatti and Barrera, and the forward firepower of Imobile, Berardi and Chiessa. Their coach Mancini also has rich coaching experience and tactical wisdom. He made Italy play a positive, smooth and changeable football and won the applause of fans.
