Gareth Southgate, the England head coach, hailed his team for reaching their first tournament final in 55 years but said Italy, their opponents in the final will be a 'massive hurdle.'
"They’ve had it, haven't they? There was mayhem on the pitch and I was part of it. We’ve got to enjoy the fact we're in the final but there's one more massive hurdle to conquer," Southgate said.
"Italy are a very good side. I've thought that the last couple of years. They are in outstanding form and have defensive warriors who have been through everything. It's a great game to look forward to.
"Finals are there to be won. We’ll regroup and prepare properly. We need to recover tonight, it's taken a lot physically and mentally. Italy have also had that - although they’ve had an extra day to recover."
