Cristiano Ronaldo plans to continue playing for Portugal beyond this year's World Cup, indicating he wants to compete at Euro 2024.

"I hope to be part of the Federation for a few more years," he added. "I still feel motivated; my ambition is high. I'm in a team with young people. I want to be part of this World Cup and the European too; I'm going to assume that right away."

ESPN's coverage of the Italy-England Euro 2020 Final averaged 6.49 million viewers, representing a 43 percent increase from the 2016 Portugal-France telecast. 

ESPN’s audience peaked at 8.2 million viewers as the Azzurri clinched the title on penalty kicks.

Approximately 31 million viewers in the U.K. watched the final on BBC and ITV, making it one of the most-watched programs in British TV history.

The Italy-England match deliver more viewers than each game of NBC Sports’ coverage of the Stanley Cup Final, and it also handily out-delivered nearly every game of the 2020-21 NBA season.

Gareth Southgate said he was responsible for England's penalty shootout loss to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.

Southgate subbed on Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho late in the match, with both players missing their penalties.

“That is my responsibility,” Southgate said. “I chose the guys to take the kicks. I told the players that nobody is on their own in that situation. We win and lose together as a team. They have been tight throughout and that’s how it needs to stay. It is my decision to give him [Saka] that penalty. That is totally my responsibility."

Southgate sought to deflect blame from Bukayo Saka, who missed the fifth and final penalty.

“He’s such a super boy. He’s been a star and he’s going to continue to be a star. We’ve got to be there to support and help him. He’ll get a lot of love from outside because of what he’s done in this tournament," added Southgate.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane looked forward to next year World Cup.

“They’ve just got to hold their heads up high. It’s been a fantastic tournament and these things can happen. Anyone can miss a penalty. We win together, we lose together; these boys will grow for it and it gives us more motivation to do well in the World Cup next year." 

Phil Foden suffered a foot injury in training, making him doubtful to appear in the Euro 2020 final against Italy.

Foden sat out training on Saturday due to the "minor knock."

"He's definitely doubtful although it's not something serious. It's just whether it will keep him out of this particular game," said England manager Gareth Southgate.

The 21-year-old has featured in three tournament matches thus far. 

Tests confirmed that Italy fullback Leonardo Spinazzola tore his Achilles tendon during their win over Belgium in the quarterfinals of the 2020 Euros.

The 28-year-old was one of the team's standout performers and was named star of the match for three out of the Italy's four matches.

"He has been one of the best players of this tournament and he will still be even if he can't play in the next games. We are very, very sad with what has happened it seems quite a serious one," said Roberto Mancini after the game.

Lorenzo Insigne also expressed his sadness regarding the injury.

"Its a great loss, we will try to go all the way above all for him. Up to today he has been such a key player, an influential player for us."

Eden Hazard accepted that his career wouldn't be the same due to the numerous amount of ankle injuries he's endured in recent seasons.

"I never doubted my qualities, but whether I would be 100% fit for the European Championship was going to be a question. I broke my ankle three times, it will never be the same as 10 years ago. But I know that when I am in shape, that I can prove myself on the field and that's what I'm working on now," said Hazard.

Hazard is set to start against Finland on Monday, though may not last 90 minutes.

Belgium have already qualified for the knockout round with two wins. 

Hazard said that his goal was to be fit for the knockout games.

"I'm not 100% yet, but I'm ready to start. But that was the plan, to bring me along gradually. It's especially important to be completely fit in the knockout phase. Then I have to be in top shape."

Christian Eriksen said he feels "fine -- under the circumstances" in his first message to fans since suffering a cardiac arrest in Denmark's opening match of the Euro Championship.

Eriksen is still in hospital awaiting further tests as they seek to determine what caused his cardiac arrest. But in his first official communication since collapsing, Eriksen said: "Hello everyone, Big thanks for your sweet and amazing greetings and messages from all around the world. It means a lot to me and my family.

"I'm fine -- under the circumstances. I still have to go through some examinations at the hospital, but I feel OK. Now, I will cheer on the boys on the Denmark team in the next matches. Play for all of Denmark. Best, Christian."

Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first man to play in five European Championship tournaments. 

Ronaldo debuted in 2004 with Portugal and has played in 22 matches. 

"This is my fifth European Championship but for me it feels as though it's my first," Ronaldo said ahead of Tuesday's game.

Portugal won the tournament in 2016, though he exited the final match against France early with an injury.

Christian Eriksen was "gone" before he was resuscitated after suffering a cardiac arrest, the team's doctor, Morten Boesen, said in a news conference Sunday.

Eriksen is in stable condition after being taken to a hospital in Copenhagen after he collapsed on the pitch. 

"He was gone, and we did cardiac resuscitation. It was a cardiac arrest," Boesen said. "How close were we [to losing Eriksen]? I don't know.

"We got him back after one defibrillator, so that's quite fast. I'm not a cardiologist, so the details I will leave to the experts at the hospital."

Eriksen had just played a short pass when he fell facedown onto the ground and was given urgent medical attention for around 10 minutes.

Christian Eriksen was awake at a hospital and stabilized after he collapsed on the pitch during the first half of Denmark's match against Finland. 

"We have spoken to Christian Eriksen, who has sent his greetings to his teammates. His condition is stable, and he continues to be hospitalized for further examination," wrote the Danish federation in a statement.

Danish football federation director Peter Moeller said Eriksen got a "heart massage" while being treated on the field.

"He fell over and got help and heart massage on the field," Moeller told Danish public broadcaster DR. "He was fortunately awake when he left stadium."
