The Italian national football team and champion of Europe for the second time in its history (the first was 53 years ago, in 1968).
In the Euro2020 final at the Wembley stadium in London he beat England on penalties after the draw: the hosts took the lead after 2 minutes, until Leonardo Bonucci scored in the second half.

But let’s see the prizes dossier.
Prize money cut, but still a record. Uefa put 331 million on the plate of the 24 national teams participating in Euro 2020, a figure reduced by 40 million after the outbreak of the pandemic but higher than in the 2016 edition, where the prize pool was 301 million.
The maximum prize is 28.5 million. To achieve it, it was necessary to have won all the group stage matches, going as far as success.
A road traveled by Italy, which had closed its group with full points: the three successes against Turkey, Switzerland and Wales earned the FIGC 3 million, to be added to the 9.5 million expected for participation.
They must also be added: 1.5 million for the round of 16 won against Austria; 2.5 million for qualifying for the quarterfinals, where the Azzurri beat Belgium; and 4 million for the semifinal in which they overtook Spain.
In total, they already make 20.5 million in cash, plus the 5 million guaranteed to both finalists.
By raising the cup, Italy’s prize rose to 28.5 million.
But how much do the players of Italy who have won Euro 2020 earn
Even when the national team is on the pitch, the subject of footballers’ salaries always arouses curiosity, especially now that we are in the transfer market period.
The Scrooge of the Italy national team and Marco Verratti, but Gigio Donnarumma could soon overtake the midfielder given the figures circulating regarding his possible arrival at PSG.
These are the salaries of the Italian players called by coach Roberto Mancini and who beat England in the final last night.

The highest paid of the blue group is Marco Verratti, even if on his salary has always been a sort of mystery: for L’Equipe the net annual salary of the midfielder would be 9 million, while other sources speak of higher figures.
After announcing his intention not to renew with Milan, Gigio Donnarumma could join his team mate at PSG.
These figures that somehow clash with the 100,000 euros received by Giacomo Raspadori at Sassuolo and the 400,000 euros received by Matteo Pessina at Atalanta. For the two young people, however, a contract renewal could soon arrive with relative salary adjustment.
