They have won 13 consecutive matches without losing a match and are now unbeaten in 32.However, not many of these wins were against large sides before the tournament.Chris Sutton, BBC Radio 5 Live, stated that "I didn’t fancy them" before the tournament. Everyone was talking about their run, and they had barely beaten anyone."We've seen it now."Klinsmann stated that the attacking side showed a lot of potential. They were able to play a variety of combinations and pass sequences. They had between 25 and 30 passes for about thirty seconds, and Belgium stopped and parked their bus for one minute.Roberto Mancini, the former boss of Manchester City in Italy, said that they had fully deserved this win. My players were exceptional."We were tired and we suffered the last 10 minutes. We could have scored more goals."Our road is not over, there are still two games left. Let's celebrate this win, we'll be watching. Bravo to all the men who did an outstanding job.The Old Guard impresses - but will they miss Spinazzola as much?Italy's low point was Spinazzola's injury. The 28-year old Roma defender was one of the most outstanding players throughout the tournament.He has an average of 7.9 in the BBC Sport player rating, which is the third highest among all Euro 2020 players.He was chasing the ball when he pulled up and left on a stretcher. He is expected to be out of commission for several months.Mancini stated that Mancini was "playing extraordinarily well." He was one of the best players in the Euro.Sutton said, "He has had an incredible tournament." He is a flying machine. Sometimes, finely tuned machines fail. This is very sad."A major player, arguably in his life. He will be a huge, massive loss. He is irreplaceable. These are some big shoes to fill. He was my player of tournament."Sutton was impressed with Italy's defense resolve. Although they looked like an attacking team, they had to fight for the victory in Munich.Bonucci and captain Giorgio Chiellini celebrated as if it were a goal when Spinazzola stopped a Romelu-Lukaku shot."We saw a different side to Italy," Sutton said. Sutton stated that there were "bodies behind the ball and they were defending well." It was an entirely different side of Italy than what we had seen in the tournament."You would call it an Italian job."Klinsmann stated that they can always count on their strong defensive DNA. It is difficult to defeat the Italians when it comes to defending a result. They are able to waste time.Alan Shearer stated that the Italians needed to apply all their knowledge and experience within the last 10 or 15 minutes. Two old men at the back were amazing."Belgium: End of an eraFifa ranks Belgium as the number one country in the world. However, Belgium fell short of their 2018 World Cup ranking when they reached the semis.The average age of their back three was 33, and only two of their starting line-up members were younger than 28."All the talk about a golden generation, it is important to ask yourself if this is the end of an era." Sutton said."We discuss how great Italy was, but Belgium missed two great opportunities through Romelu Lukaku."But they are out now, and they have to get up."Kevin de Bruyne was a Belgian player, but he revealed that he hadn't fully recovered from an ankle injury."It was a miracle I played today because there was clearly damage to my ankle. My ligaments were torn. But I felt a responsibility to my country today. It was too bad that I couldn't do more.
