Italy win the European Championship after shootout win over England

Italy won the European Championship for the first time since 1968 as Gianluigi Donnarumma saved two England penalties en route to a 3-2 shootout win after the teams had fought out a 1-1 extra-time draw at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday. Italy claimed the European Championship for the first time since 1968 as penalties came back to haunt England at Wembley on Sunday,

Donnarumma saved from Jadon Sancho and, decisively, Bukayo Saka after Marcus Rashford hit the post, as Federico Bernardeschi, Leonardo Bonucci and Domenico Berardi all scored for the Italians in the shootout.

It was the first final decided on penalties since Czechoslovakia beat West Germany in 1976. Italy have now won five and lost six of their 10 major tournament shootouts, including one win and one loss in World Cup finals, while England’s record now reads seven losses from nine.

Novak Djokovic wins Wimbledon men’s final earning his 20th Grand Slam title

No. 1 seeded Novak Djokovic of Serbia rallied for a 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 win over Matteo Berrettini of Italy in the Wimbledon men’s tennis final Sunday, earning him a record-tying 20th Grand Slam singles title. The 34-year-old Djokovic, who won the tournament in 2018 and 2019 before last year’s event was canceled, earned his third straight championship at Wimbledon, and sixth overall. Djokovic also holds nine titles at the Australian Open, three at the U.S. Open and two at the French Open to tie Swiss star Roger Federer and Spaniard Rafael Nadal for the most majors won by a man in the history of the sport.

Djokovic, who also won the French Open and the Australian Open earlier this year, becomes the first male since Rod Laver in 1969 to win the first three major tournaments in one season. He is aiming for a calendar-year Grand Slam — something not achieved by a male player since Laver more than five decades ago — at the U.S. Open, which begins Aug. 30. Sunday’s final at Wimbledon marked Djokovic’s 30th major final — one shy of Federer’s record 31 among men.
