Leonardo Bonucci scored Italy's equaliser in the second half after Luke Shaw had given England early lead in the Euro 2020 final; Bonucci: "Sorry for them but actually the cup will be taking a nice flight to Rome and that way Italians all over the world can savour this"

Leonardo Bonucci says Italy were spurred on to win Euro 2020 by England fans insisting football was coming home.

Bonucci played a star role in the Azzuri's success at Wembley, cancelling out Luke Shaw's early goal in the second half and then converting a penalty during the shootout which his side won 3-2.

There was plenty of expectation that Gareth Southgate's side would win, as their famous anthem Three Lions reverberated around the country following their semi-final win over Denmark on Wednesda
But Bonucci said that gave his side motivation.
