Earlier this month, Italy beat England 3-2 on penalties to win the Euro 2020 title at Wembley. Domenico Berardi, Leonardo Bonucci, and Federico Bernardeschi scored for Italy during the penalty shootout to take them to the victory line.

Following the foul, Saka was down and the referee promptly showed the yellow card. However, a yellow card was not enough for England fans, who wanted the Juventus defender to be sent off. Chiellini had then, cheekily offered his hand to Saka. Although the youngster refused the hand, they embraced later.
