I thought your stance on previous games was that having more possession did not make one team 'better'.
It depends on what you do with that possession. Germany had 70% of the ball but Pickford made one decent save all game. England didn't do a lot with it against Italy to be fair but at least hit the bar and missed an open goal. But take away the possession and the stats hardly suggest a game where Italy outplayed us. They were decent for half an hour and then just defended for the point.
