In the Round of 16 of the European Championship, Freuler opened the scoring, Vargas scored a goal and an assist, and Switzerland eventually defeated Italy 2-0, eliminating them from the competition. After the match, Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma spoke to the media.
Donnarumma said: “We need to acknowledge our mistakes, take responsibility and apologize. We never got into the game and we have to accept that, and give them (Switzerland) credit for playing a great match, but we should have done much better.”
“Participating in the European Championship and other competitions will help many of us, especially the young players, to get a better grip on the game and maintain a faster pace. We have many promising young players who can grow and improve, and we must move forward together, we will do that.”
“It hurts to go out like this, we apologize to all the fans. Switzerland deserved the win, we struggled throughout the match. In the first half, we lost possession too much. This match is unacceptable, extremely tough. We were poor in the first half because they always controlled the ball. We wanted to do better at the start of the second half, but we conceded immediately.”
