Pickford – Insufficient
Unprecedented in the first half, the Everton goalkeeper intervened for the first time in the 56th minute, covering his post well after a shot from Insigne. Five minutes later he denied Chiesa the goal with a great save and could do little else in Bonucci's. He sent Verratti's previous shot to the post but the rebound fell straight to the Italian center-back. He stopped two maximum penalties – the second to Belotti and the fifth to Jorginho – in the penalty shootout but it was not enough for England to lift the first European Championship in their history.
Trippier – Hit
It was the only novelty regarding the semifinal and it did not take two minutes to justify his presence in the eleven. He put a candy on Shaw that the United side did not miss and constantly threatened Emerson for his band. Also set pieces.
Kyle
Walker – Versatile
For the second time in this European Championship, Southgate resorted to the defense of five, placing the Manchester City footballer as third center-back. He went back to the side when Saka came in for Trippier.
Stones – Discreet
He lost the action prior to Verratti's shot at the post on the Italy goal.
Maguire – Bulwark
His set piece is worthy of study, he finishes it off absolutely everything. He has silenced many criticisms with his Euro. He nailed his penalty in the very squad.
Luke
Shaw – Goal scorer
He regained his best at United after the signing of Alex Telles and extended his magnificent season at Old Trafford to the Euro. He scored the earliest goal in a Euro Cup final.
Rice – Monstrous
We will see how long this footballer lasts for West Ham, who crowned his tremendous European Championship with a huge display in the final.
Kalvin
Phillips – Energetic
The most dynamic of the two English midfielders. Marcelo Bielsa has invented an extraordinary 'box to box'.
Mason Mount – Blurred
The more dominance Italy acquired, the more it became blurred. He narrowly missed a Shaw cross that would have made it 2-0. He appeared in the photo of Bonucci's goal after losing the previous individual duel with Verratti (1.65 m).
Sterling – Sparkling
He again exaggerated some fall within the Italian area and he looked physically tired, but his tournament has been '10'.
Harry
Kane – Waning
As Dani Olmo did in the semifinals, he started by pulling Bonucci and Chiellini out of their lair, making them more vulnerable in the open field. It gave a clinic in the first minutes but it disappeared with the passage of the minutes. His penalty kicked wonderfully.
THE CHANGES
Henderson – Fire extinguishers
He came out with the difficult ballot to replace Rice, surely the best in England while he was on the pitch. It helped stop the Italian onslaught when Southgate's were at their worst. He left just before the penalty shootout.
Saka – Brave
His entry was the return to 4-2-3-1. It appeared both on the right and on the left. At the age of 19, he assumed the responsibility of throwing the last maximum penalty, but Donnarumma won the game.
Grealish – late
Once again, Southgate turned to the talented Aston Villa player too late. He took a very tough squad from Jorginho that could well have led to his expulsion.
Rashford – Indicated
He entered the 119 'to launch his maximum penalty … And he sent it to the post.
Jadon
Sancho – Indicated 2.0.
Southgate took him out alongside Rashford … And he also missed his penalty.
