Diary of an Italy fan at Wembley

Highs, lows and a whole lot of tension. Here’s what it was like to be at Wembley to see Italy win the Euros

England vs Italy. Wembley Stadium, 11th July

Walking into the cauldron that is Wembley Stadium for the first time in my life was both exhilarating and daunting. This was the first game of football I’d been to since the pre-lockdown era when I’d visited Craven Cottage to see Fulham vs Preston North End, a Championship football match back in early 2020.

But this was England vs Italy, the Final of the European Championship.
