In the European Cup final, Marcus Rashford and Sancho were replaced by Southgate in the 118th minute. With Walker replaced, Marcus Rashford went straight to right-back after coming on, during which he completed two defensive attempts. In contrast, Sancho was a little embarrassed, because England had not attacked, and the winger who was about to officially join Manchester United did not touch the ball and directly ushered in a penalty shootout. In a penalty shootout, Marcus Rashford shot into the post and Sancho's shot was saved by Donnarumma.
In this penalty handling, Rashford took a small step like Neymar to help run, and although he deceived Donnarumma, Rashford's shot hit the goalpost and deflected out. For Marcus Rashford's handling of the penalty, Tottenham's former Dutch star Van der Vaart gave a harsh criticism: "Are they still young? I don't think so. Marcus Rashford could have been like everyone else, just like everyone else, and the normal run-off shot was over, wouldn't it? Well, I admit, he's got a great shot on goal. ”
Basten, the first centre-forward in Dutch history, who commented on the ball with Van der Vaart, was more euphemistic in his words: "Marcus Rashford made the right choice, but his shot was aimed at the goalpost. ”
