Lecce, Christian Lupo lived a dream night in the Under 17 European Championship final. The Lecce goalkeeper saved three penalties, one during the 90 minutes and two in the penalty shootout, leading Italy to victory over Spain. The game ended 4-2 in the penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in regular time. Christian Lupo, born in Bari in 2009, discovered the wonderful weight of responsibility of a goalkeeper. He learned the liturgy of the role from his father, also a goalkeeper, and imitated his idol Gianluigi Buffon. But in the present, the reference he feels closest to is Elia Caprile of Cagliari, who describes him as 'modern, reactive and very good in one-on-one situations'. Christian Lupo saved the three penalties with the courage to wait for that extra second, with the lucidity to read the body language of the opponent and with the stubborn faith of those who really think they can reach the ball. 'I will never forget this night' said Christian Lupo with his eyes full of emotion. When he has children or grandchildren, it will certainly be a moment he will tell them.
