EURO 2020 Team of the tournament: Ronaldo out; Donnarumma, Bonucci among five Italians

UEFA's team of the tournament included Raheem Sterling, Romelu Lukaku and Federico Chiesa in attack while top-scorer Cristiano Ronaldo was excluded.

Gianluigi Donnarumma and Leonardo Bonucci were among five Italians elected in the UEFA Euro 2020 team of the tournament on Tuesday.

Five players from champion Italy and three from runner-up England were named in the Euro 2020 team of the tournament announced by European football's governing body UEFA on Tuesday.

Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma -- who was named the Player of the tournament -- along with defenders Leonardo Bonucci and Leonardo Spinazzola, midfielder Jorginho and winger Federico Chiesa were all selected in the line-up.

Italy won the Euros for the first time since 1968 as Donnarumma saved two England penalties en route to a 3-2 shootout win after the teams had fought out a 1-1 extra-time draw in Sunday's final at Wembley.

Sterling scored three goals for England, while Lukaku scored four times for Belgium, who were knocked out by Italy in the quarter-finals.
