🎥 Giorgio Chiellini explains that iconic moment from the EURO 2020 final
It's arguably the most iconic moment of the EURO 2020 final.
Bukayo Saka, clean through as England looked to win a tournament for the first time since 1966, was pulled back by Giorgio Chiellini to save the Italians' skin.
Plenty of Three Lions fans thought it should have been a red card for the Juventus legend at the time.
Instead though, Chiellini stayed on the pitch and the Azzurri beat Gareth Southgate's men on penalties.
And now, on a recent episode of The Overlap, Chiellini has given an insight into his thought process during the whole incident.
"Italian mindset" 😅
