Here is a look at the player ratings for England vs Italy from the big European newspapers (L’Equipe, Bild, Diario AS, Corriere della Sera) following the Azzurri’s penalty shootout triumph at Wembley in the Euro 2021 final. England appeared to opt for a more defensive approach (see xG and match stats for Euro 2020 final) after taking the lead through Man United left back Luke Shaw.
L’Equipe player ratings England vs Italy Euro 2020 final
A 5.7 team rating for Italy versus a 5.5/10 team rating for England from French paper L’Equipe. Gianluigi Donnarumma the best player according to them with a 8/10; Nicolo Barella, Cirro Immobile and Kyle Walker the worst with 4/10 ratings.
L’Equipe also gave referee Bjorn Kuipers a 5/10 rating for his performance.
Diario AS player ratings England v Italy 2021 July 11
Three stars for as many as five Italian starters, including Donnarumma and Chiesa, from Spanish paper AS, but none for England’s players.
Diario Sport player ratings Euro 2021 Final
A 9/10 to Donnarumma from Diario Sport, and at the other end, they gave a 3/10 rating to Emerson and a 2/10 to Ciro Immobile!
Bild player ratings England Italy Euro 2021 Final
(Note 6 is a bad rating in this system, 1 is a very good one)
German newspaper Bild, interestingly, were very generous to England’s players in their player rating.
Luke Shaw the best player on the pitch for Bild, while Ciro Immobile was the worst. They gave Southgate a better manager rating than Mancini.
Corriere della Sera ratings England 1-1 Italy July 11 2021
Italian paper CdS gave referee Kuipers a 8/10 rating. The same 8/10 was given to the quartet of Donnarumma, Bonucci, Chiellini and Chiesa.
Bild player ratings for this game are super weird 😀
Must be done by an England fan!
Yeah, like a 2 for Kane is WAAAY off !! If Barela scored a 4 (he was poor) then Kane should not have rated any better..
