4 – Gianluigi Donnarumma
4 – Gianluigi Buffon
3 – Francesco Toldo
Azzurri heritage.
Besides Italy’s last minute equalizer, Luka Modric was still awarded Man of the Match.

Croatia at #EURO2024 :

Unlucky is an understatement.
Giacomo Raspadori was the only player on the pitch to make more key passes (4) than Riccardo Calafiori (3).
