Euro 2020 final was an extremely emotional roller coaster ride for the English fans. Build up to the final at Wembley started off with a fly past by the royal air force. 

Fans were desperate to get into Wembley to witness the historic moment and those who couldn't resorted to rioting. Ticketless England fans breached security and jumped the perimeter walls of the Stadium.

The game started with a bang as the fans watching the final went wild after Luke Shaw's early strike.

But as The Azzurri rode back to life and edged out England in a penalty shootout, the English fans were crestfallen. Scenes turned ugly when England supporters were seen punching and kicking the Italian fans and broke glass bottles on the streets of London.
