Italy won the championship in London for the first time since 1968, with a 3-2 penalty shootout win after the teams had fought out a 1-1 extra-time draw. Two soccer-mad nations faced each other and one blinked. Italy outplays England in the final of the Euro 2020 soccer tournament Sunday in London. Italy won the shootout 3-2 after England’s final shot was blocked. Players of both teams took a knee before the starting whistle to bring attention to racial injustice, which England players did before every game of the tournament. As Covid-19 infection rates continue to rise across the UK, more than 60,000 fans were allowed to watch the game at Wembley stadium.
