LONDON (Reuters) - Austria will leave Euro 2020 after failing to get past the last 16 following Saturday's 2-1 extra-time loss to Italy but having earned a lot of praise while also making national team history along the way.

The Austrians under coach Franco Foda arrived at the tournament having not won a game in any of their previous European Championship appearances and therefore having never got past the group stage.
