Blanc was absolutely stable in defence once again, well, what's new? I felt happy for him, since he missed the last World Cup final match due to suspension. It will be great for him to end his international carrer with a European Cup triumph. Di Biagio put in a credible performance throughout the tournament. He is the ironman in midfield. Today, I remember his jostling the ball off players so many times, once getting the ball from Zidane. But in the final match, he sort of got disoriented on a couple of occasions and were a bit lost in midfield. That is why I think Zoff substitute him out later.
Del Piero was horrible in missing 2 chances, which could have sealed Italy's victory. I cannot help but think that if only Roberto Baggio was there, he would have scored!
The winner was scored by a Frenchman who would be going to Juventus next season. Now there is more reason for me to dislike Juventus (haha)..........the Del Piero misses definitely help too........(hehe)...............

The reason why Di Biagio was substituted was his yellow card. Zoff didn´t want to risk anything.
