Trapattoni, cel mai varstnic antrenor din istoria Campionatului European de Fotbal
Meciul dintre Croatia si Irlanda va consemna un nou record in istoria turneelor finale ale Campionatelor Europene de Fotbal. Nu unul legat de partide disputate, goluri inscrise sau minute jucate, ci, mai degraba, un omagiu: Giovanni Trapattoni devene cel mai varstnic antrenor care conduce o echipa nationala la turneul final.
