Euro 2020- Heartbreak for Belgium as invincible Italy book semi-final date with Spain

Euro 2020-Italy continued their invincible run as they established themselves as firm favourites to win Euro 2020 by knocking World No. 1 Belgium in the quarter-final in Munich on Friday. Goals from Lorenzo Insigne and Nicolo Barella gave Italy 2-0 lead while Romelu Lukaku’s goal from the sport was not enough as Italy beat Roberto Mancini’s side in a fiercely-ontested match.

It was heartbreak for Belgium’s golden generation as they failed in the knockout phases of a major tournament once again. The quality of this Roberto Mancini’s side is not in question but their inability to go past the final hurdles once again brings up the dreaded ‘C’ tag. After going out in the Euro 2016 quarter-finals, Belgium were ousted in the semi-final at the FIFA World Cup in 2018.

Despite not having captain Eden Hazard, Belgium came up with a valiant fight with the likes of Kevin de Bruyne, Jeremy Doku and Romelu Lukaku threatening to trouble Italy but the Giorgio Chiellini-led Italian defence was up to the mark on the big night.
