8. Italy’s Humiliating 4-0 Loss to Spain in Euros 2012
Mario Balotelli’s face was plainly distraught following this horrible setback, and tears rolled down his cheeks. In Italy’s triumph over Germany in the semifinals, Mario scored a goal.
Italian players, especially Mario, were expected to score at least one goal by Italian supporters. Mario and his teammates played through a rigorous 90 minutes, and by the time the game was through, just ten Italian players remained after one of them suffered a terrible injury.
The entire Italian team broke down in tears after suffering a devastating defeat in one of their most significant matches. One of the most painful moments in football history was when Italy lost to Spain at the 2012 Euros, especially for the Italian fans.
