Roberto Mancini on Italy's Euro 2020 win: 'Luck owed me something'

The triumphant Italy manager, Robert Mancini, said luck owed him something after his side's dramatic penalty shootout win over England in the Euro 2020 final. Mancini lost two penalty shootouts as a player with his national side but Italy were victorious at Wembley on Sunday night. 'I was lucky enough to be part of a great team that was the one that played in 1990 [at the World Cup] and I was lucky enough to play in a fantastic under-21 side in 1988. Despite being absolutely the best, we managed not to win because football is like that. And both times we lost in penalty shootouts. Therefore luck owed me something,' Mancini said.
