Chelsea midfielder Jorginho full of pride scoring decisive Italy penalty

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho was full of pride taking the decisive penalty in Italy's Euro 2020 shootout triumph against Spain.

It was 1-1 after 90 minutes with goals from Federico Chiesa and Alvaro Morata, but in the shootout Manuel Locatelli and Morata saw their efforts saved, while Dani Olmo blasted over the bar.

“When you take the kick, you feel this weight fall off your shoulders! I tried to forget everything around me, focus on what I'd trained to do, took a deep breath and got on with it," former Napoli star Jorginho said.

“Italy never give up, we always believe. This is a marvellous squad that deserves all the best, because we suffer together, we play together, laugh together, joke together and like all families can argue together at times, but we always end up there together."
