Giorgio Chiellini Grabbing Bukayo Saka in Euro 2020 Final Triggers Meme Fest on Twitter

Italy beat England 3-2 on penalties to win the Euro 2020 title at the Wembley on Monday. Domenico Berardi, Leonardo Bonucci, and Federico Bernardeschi scored for Italy during the penalty shootout to take them to the victory line. Although England fans are devastated that the trophy is not “coming home", they were particularly furious with Italian captain Giorgio Chiellini for what they described as “the most cynical foul in history" when he committed a foul on England’s Bukayo Saka during the game.
