Italy mock England after Liverpool-PSG penalties: ‘Some things never change’ | OneFootball

The Italy national team social media account enjoyed Gianluigi Donnarumma’s heroics during the penalty shoot-out between Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday night, taking an opportunity to mock the England national team with the message ‘some things never change’.

PSG qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals after a penalty shoot-out victory over six-time winners Liverpool, largely thanks to Italy no.1 Donnarumma, who kept out both Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones from 12 yards.

Donnarumma was, of course, the penalty shoot out hero for Italy when the Azzurri beat England at Wembley to win EURO 2020 in the summer of 2021.
