The EURO 2020 Cup surely did not come home but went all the way to Rome after Italy claimed the European Championship for the first time since 1968 in the penalties against England at Wembley on Sunday.

Gianluigi Donnarumma saved twice as the Azzurri won a shootout 3-2 after the game finished 1-1 following extra time.

The goalkeeper saved from Jadon Sancho and, decisively, Bukayo Saka after Marcus Rashford hit the post, as Federico Bernardeschi, Leonardo Bonucci, and Domenico Berardi all scored for the Italians in the shootout.

While the team was into the game, there were many celebrities who were present at the stadium supporting the home side, let's have a look.

Tom Cruise achieved mission impossible by blagging a ticket to Italy vs England in the Euro 2020 final. 

 

He had a busy Sunday having been to the Wimbledon Men's final, where he witnessed Novak Djokovic vs Matteo Berrettini.

 

However, what grabbed the attention of fans was him fist-bumping David Beckham in the stands when Luke Shaw scored the very early opener.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie Johnson were in attendance at Wembley. With him being present at the stadium, many speculations were made of a 'special bank holiday if England wins the Euro 2020 final'.

 

The British PM, however, was asked if people would be given a day off in the event of a historic triumph over Italy this Sunday.

 

He replied only: "I think that would be tempting fate - let’s see what happens."
