Euro 2020: 'Italy were better tonight', contrasting emotions on Twitter as Italy clinch title

Italy won the Euro 2020 title for the second time by beating England 3-2 on penalties on Sunday. The match finished 1-1 after extra time at Wembley Stadium, which was filled mostly with English fans hoping to celebrate the team's first international trophy since the 1966 World Cup.“It's coming to Rome. It's coming to Rome,” Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci shouted into a TV camera amid the celebrations, mocking the famous lyric “it's coming home” from the England team's anthem.For England, it was utter dejection again — they know the feeling so well when it comes to penalties — after Gianluigi Donnarumma, Italy's imposing goalkeeper, dived to his left and saved the decisive spot kick by 19-year-old Londoner Bukayo Saka, one of the youngest players in England's squad.That was England's third straight failure from the penalty spot in the shootout, with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho — players brought on late in extra time seemingly as specialist penalty-takers — also missing.As Saka and Sancho cried, Donnarumma was mobbed by his teammates as they sprinted toward him from the halfway line at the end of the second penalty shootout in a European Championship final.Then Italy's jubilant players headed to the other end of the field and ran as one, diving to the ground in front of the Italian fans who have witnessed a rebirth of their national team.Meanwhile, a number of known faces from the sporting fraternity took to Twitter after Italy's win over England. Here are a few reactions from the micro-blogging site:Italy's name on the trophyIndeed! England players should be proud of themselvesA win to remember Endless congratulatory messages for ItaliansSeems like all of Italy was on streets English cricketers back the footballers even in loss and certainly while they are racially abusedThat is how one should take the loss Some advice for England post the loss Nothing but respect for the runners-up Indian cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar congratulated Italy With inputs from AP
