england's bid to end their 55—year wait for a major trophy — in the end — came upjust short. it ended in painfully familiar agony of being on the wrong end of a penalty shoot—out — as italy claimed the euro 2020 crown at wembley. the manager, gareth southgate, said the defeat was incredibly painful. the captain, harry kane, said the defeat would probably hurt the players for the rest of their careers but that they should be extremely proud of what they'd achieved. three england players missed their penalties, the final one from 19—year—old — bukayo saka, who was heartbroken — and had to be consoled by his team—mates and manager. the trio's social media pages have since been flooded with racist comments,leading the fa to release a statement condemning the "disgusting behaviour." and the prime minister

has said "those responsible for this appalling abuse should be ashamed of themselves." let's speak to annita mcveigh at wembley. from wembley, the morning after the night before, it was one of those nights. england fans will talk about this well into the future as being where were you when you watch england play italy in the final of euro 2020 at wembley stadium? crystallising in the penalty shoot—out. the dreaded penalty shoot—out. the dreaded penalty shoot—out. it was a night of tension, huge anticipation and heartbreakfor gareth tension, huge anticipation and heartbreak for gareth southgate, his team and the fans but also a night which showed so much promise for the future. saka has to score. it's saved by donnarumma, and it's italy who are - the champions of europe.

it was a night when the hope turned to heartache. the all—too—familiar pain of a penalty shoot—out for england, their tournament ending in tears. so close, yet so agonisingly far. # god save the queen #. and yet they began with such optimism, the passion etched on every player. could england rise to the occasion? well, afterjust one minute and 57 seconds, this was the answer. trippier, who will cross, and it's luke shaw! luke shaw sending wembley into wonderland — from the royal box to the commentary box. even david beckham and tom cruise. it was just what england needed. but after the break, italy showed what they can do — leonardo bonucci with the equaliser — and suddenly england had problems. wembley a picture of tension as the game went to extra time

and then to penalties. surely not. and pickford saves! jordan pickford got england off to the perfect start, but then things unravelled. misses from marcus rashford... and rashford has missed. ..and thenjadon sancho putting italy on the brink of victory. but once again it was pickford to the rescue. england were still in it. but another save from bukayo saka and it was all over. and as italy celebrated, england were left to rue what might have been. i think when we look back, maybe in a month or so, we'll appreciate what we've done, appreciate the love and the togetherness that we've shown the country, and it's been amazing to be a part of, for sure, but we're footballers, we're winners, we're sportsmen, we want to win in everything we do so of course it's going to hurt, it's going to be hard to take. but, yeah, the bigger picture... we've got further in a tournament — our first final in 55 years —

so now we've got to build on this. we've got a great young squad. they'll learn from this, we'll all learn from this and hopefully we can progress even further next year. we win and lose together, nobody is left out on their own, and the calls for the penalties were mine, my decision — my decision to ask the players to take the penalties that they did. um... and so, you know, they've... they've got to walk away from here, heads held high. they've done more than any other team in the last 50 or so years, so in terms of the players they should be incredibly proud of what they've done. the disappointment was shared by the duke and duchess of cambridge, who were watching with prince george. the duke later described the result as heartbreaking and, while congratulating italy he said, "england can all hold your heads high and be so proud of yourselves. i know there's more to come." well, what a cruel end for england's hopes — they've taken their fans on some journey at this tournament but —

as you can see by the colours on the arch behind me — it's italy's night. italy are the champions... but while they celebrate another major trophy, england's long wait goes on — their footballing dreams dashed once again in the most agonising fashion. andy swiss, bbc news, wembley. i'mjoined by our i'm joined by our sports presenter, it was_ i'm joined by our sports presenter, it was a _ i'm joined by our sports presenter, it was a dream_ i'm joined by our sports presenter, it was a dream start _ i'm joined by our sports presenter, it was a dream start for _ i'm joined by our sports presenter, it was a dream start for england, l it was a dream start for england, but inevitably— it was a dream start for england, but inevitably one _ it was a dream start for england, but inevitably one is _ it was a dream start for england, but inevitably one is actually - it was a dream start for england, but inevitably one is actually in, i but inevitably one is actually in, it became — but inevitably one is actually in, it became a _ but inevitably one is actually in, it became a really— but inevitably one is actually in, it became a really tough - but inevitably one is actually in, - it became a really tough competition and it_ it became a really tough competition and it was_ it became a really tough competition and it was always _ it became a really tough competition and it was always going _ it became a really tough competition and it was always going to _ it became a really tough competition and it was always going to be - and it was always going to be against — and it was always going to be against the _ and it was always going to be against the italian _ and it was always going to be against the italian side. - and it was always going to be against the italian side. you. and it was always going to be against the italian side. you would have looked _ against the italian side. you would have looked at _ against the italian side. you would have looked at the _ against the italian side. you would have looked at the italy _ against the italian side. you would have looked at the italy side - against the italian side. you would have looked at the italy side all. have looked at the italy side all through the tournament and said he had a really good chance of winning. england started slow, and then we thought they had a great chance, the early goal from luke shaw, thought they had a great chance, the early goalfrom luke shaw, i

thought they had a great chance, the early goal from luke shaw, i watched it go and when i asked myself if it had really happened. there was a delayed reaction inside the stadium and then everyone went wild. the problem then is there is a tension, you can feel the players to the tension on and became nervous, nervous in a way i haven't seen them before a sustained amount of time during the tournament. gareth southgate is famous for telling them to calm down. they respond well when he does that. it did not work so well. in the second half, the italians were better. there were moments when england were nowhere near the ball for long periods of time. the italians managed to control the game. it wore the england players down where they got to the point where they seemed exhausted and they didn't know what to do next. penalties... we got into extra time and you could see on the faces of the fans it was

inevitable somehow it was going to end and a penalty shoot—out. a lot of interest and that today and who to penalties and what the decision—making process was. it is decision-making process was. it is obvious from _ decision—making process was. it 3 obvious from gareth southgate's tactics they knew who the penalty takers would be. maybe those penalty takers would be. maybe those penalty takers have been taken great penalties and training over the last few weeks. marcus rashford came on right at the very end and jayden sancho, they didn't get time to play at all and then to step up and do that thing where they get yourself together and take a penalty in front of tens of thousands of screaming fans, that must be incredibly difficult. i cannot imagine it. mere mortals cannot imagine the process of keeping your head together enough to go and do that. gareth southgate had a plan, the players knew the plan, itjust didn't work on

three of the penalty takers, i9 and in their early 20s. incredible bravery for them to step up and do that. unfortunately, we also have to talk about the ugly side of this. the italian and english players who took the knee before the game, it is an issue the england team have campaigned on, racism, among a number of other issues, and these really ugly tweets directed at marcus rashford and jaden sancho and bukayo saka. it feels like an important moment. the prime minister has said those responsible should be ashamed of themselves. it feels like examples need to be made of people if they can be found. the examples need to be made of people if they can be found.— if they can be found. the irony, this is the _ if they can be found. the irony, this is the team _ if they can be found. the irony, this is the team that _ if they can be found. the irony, this is the team that has - if they can be found. the irony, i this is the team that has seemed if they can be found. the irony, - this is the team that has seemed to bring the nation together. it is so

have to face that.— have to face that. let's end on a ositive have to face that. let's end on a positive note. — have to face that. let's end on a positive note, yes, _ have to face that. let's end on a positive note, yes, they - have to face that. let's end on a positive note, yes, they lost - have to face that. let's end on a| positive note, yes, they lost last night but there is so much promise in the team and in the performances we have seen through this tournament.— we have seen through this tournament. lots of people questioning _ tournament. lots of people questioning gareth - tournament. lots of people - questioning gareth southgate's practice last night, he got england to the finals of a major championship yesterday. it was him. he put this team together. he motivated them. he made them feel like a team, like they wanted to play for england with no fear. there is a world cup in 18 months, let's hope the player to recover and learn from this web little bit of time and distance, can take confidence from the fact that they got so far and lead so many ghosts to rest along the way. theyjust didn't quite get there in the very end.— there in the very end. lovely to talk to from _ there in the very end. lovely to

suggesting that the regulation of social media companies should be looked at and that is something that the culture secretary acknowledges in a tweet, that is something the government is considering if it is necessary, if there is not for their voluntary changes by the social media companies. i also noticed a tweet from the police federation of england and wales, making the point that what happened was disgusting in his words and those responsible should be identified and prosecuted. we should flood these twitter accounts with love and support. a lot of reflection at westminster this morning on the specifics of that racist abuse but also here as elsewhere in england, just a sense of despondency, really. behind me, the soggy semicircles of bunting,

the soggy semicircles of bunting, the st george's flags, that hung from the main flagpole in downing street, winched down at 6:30am this morning to be replaced by the union flags that are normally there. it is impossible not to reflect that how different it might have been had that penalty shoot—out gone the other day. perhaps we might have seen the players and gareth southgate coming here for a celebratory drink. one of those things that is in the might have been category rather than the will been category rather than the will be happening category, we are rather despondent this morning and this typically british summerjuly typically british summer july result. typically british summerjuly result. it typically british summerjuly result. , , ., ., ., result. it is starting to rain here. it result. it is starting to rain here. it matches _ result. it is starting to rain here. it matches the _ result. it is starting to rain here. it matches the mood _ result. it is starting to rain here. it matches the mood for - result. it is starting to rain here. it matches the mood for many . result. it is starting to rain here. - it matches the mood for many people. the game last night was a test

event, 60,000 fans in the stadium to look at opening up to try and get back to normal after covid—19, something approaching normal, and todayis something approaching normal, and today is a key date in terms of what we are going to hearfrom today is a key date in terms of what we are going to hear from the government. taste we are going to hear from the government-— we are going to hear from the government. we will get a press conference _ government. we will get a press conference from _ government. we will get a press conference from the _ government. we will get a press conference from the prime - government. we will get a press i conference from the prime minister at five o'clock this afternoon and what we will hear from him and that is that, yes, for england, in one week, onjuly the 19th, there will be a move to the final stage of the road map. the final removal of legal restrictions on social contact. but we will not get libertarian exuberance from the prime minister, i don't think we are in the mood for exuberance this morning, there will not be language referring to freedom day and all that kind of stuff. the language will be laden with caution and the need for vigilance, a recognition that case rates are

rising, as a result of the lifting of restrictions, there will be additional new cases, some of them will be in hospital, there will be more people who will die, coupled with that there is an expected group of people being told to self—isolate, getting messages on the app saying they have to incarcerate yourselves at home because you have bumped into someone with covid—19, there is a recognition in government that next week in england and in scotland, wales and northern ireland, will not feel like the big bang open up and return of liberties because, yes, there will be a movement back to personal responsibility as opposed to ministerial diktat, it will not be as straightforward as it might otherwise have been. and a real emphasis from the prime minister

that the pandemic is not over. we should continue to be vigilant and we should choose to wear a facemask when we are on the bus or on the train, even if the law is no longer mandating us to do that.- train, even if the law is no longer mandating us to do that. thank you ve much mandating us to do that. thank you very much for— mandating us to do that. thank you very much for all— mandating us to do that. thank you very much for all of— mandating us to do that. thank you very much for all of that. _ mandating us to do that. thank you very much for all of that. here - mandating us to do that. thank you very much for all of that. here at i very much for all of that. here at bbc news, we will bring you all of that live from the prime minister later. you can see the details on your screens now. we are now going to the england team hotel. our sports reporter is there. i guess the england team will not be feeling at this morning, but they have a huge amount to be proud of, i'm sure gareth southgate will be hammering that message home.

hopefully, they will not be looking too closely at the racist abuse that has been levelled at some of the players on social media overnight. like you say, a huge amount to be proud of. we have been hearing over the last few days, lots of fans hoping to see the team, it is picking up this morning. we are not sure who is inside the hotel, we think a number of players went home from wembley yesterday. but the bus is here. we've seen calvin phillips this morning. we are watching the team bring the players equipment out. we have seen a bag with some names on them. we are hoping to catch a glimpse of them on their way home. �* , ., , .

iam going i am going to talk to the former england defender in 2002 in a friendly against italy. thank you for talking to us today on bbc news. i want to be gained by getting your thoughts on the game last night. against a team had up to that point and still has an unbroken record of more than 30 games won. it was always going to be a really tough match. , ., ., ., match. the rest of the world had actually as _ match. the rest of the world had actually as the _ match. the rest of the world had actually as the favourites. - match. the rest of the world had actually as the favourites. if - match. the rest of the world had actually as the favourites. if you | actually as the favourites. if you look at their experience, their players going into this, it was always going to be a very difficult game. look at the teams they beat along the way to get to the final. they are exceptional and outstanding, it was never going to be easy. it is a huge disappointment and i am gutted for gareth southgate and i am gutted for gareth southgate and the team and the whole country.

sadly, that is suitable sometimes. it comes down to very fine margins. people will moan about tactics and selections, gareth southgate got everything spot on on this tournament and got to the final for the first time. no manager has done it before. we have lost to iceland in this tournament. let's try and remember that. in this tournament. let's try and rememberthat. how in this tournament. let's try and remember that. how far away we were from the situation. he made great tactical decisions, penalties, again, why are these people taking penalties? young players who were put forward. because they wanted to. they were senior players who did not want to take the penalty. that is up to the players. that is their choice. nobody wants to miss. no one messes deliberately. it is a sad occasion. these young players are very, very good and talented and they will bounce from this. one, hats off to those players, the

younger players who took those penalties. it was a really brave thing to do, to step up with so much hope and expectation on their shoulders. definitely. you have to see, where were some of the senior players? i am assuming thatjordan henderson did not want to take a penalty, he missed the last two, the manager was prepared to take him off, raheem sterling, his record is not immaculate, jack grealish has not immaculate, jack grealish has not taken a penalty for two years. there were other players who could have taken the responsibility but maybe they did not fancy it. it is their choice. the young players, they thought, yes, i want to do it, there is a plan and they will have practice over and over again, through the psychology, in meetings and in training, itjust wasn't to be. marcus rashford hits the post,

someone has to mess any penalty shoot—out. messes for italy. nobody will ever remember that. because they won the game.— will ever remember that. because they won the game. let's talk about ital . i they won the game. let's talk about italy- i guess— they won the game. let's talk about italy- i guess it _ they won the game. let's talk about italy. i guess it was _ they won the game. let's talk about italy. i guess it was an _ they won the game. let's talk about italy. i guess it was an experience i italy. i guess it was an experience some ways against youth. the italians, they had possession for such a huge part of the game which unsettled the england players, interrupted their rhythm after the flying start with the goal after two minutes. assess or ask the italian tactics, how they managed to keep the possession for so long. the italian the possession for so long. the italian players. _ the possession for so long. the italian players, 34 _ the possession for so long. tie: italian players, 34 and the possession for so long. tt;e: italian players, 34 and 36 italian players, 3a and 36 respectively, the greatest defenders you will ever come up against. jorginho, incredibly experienced player, they have played in huge games all over the world. they are

used to dominating and possession and the big occasions. look at how they react to the crowd, it was not a problem. as much as tactics come into play and wanting the england team to be further up the pitch, sometimes emotions take over and it is difficult to override them when you have not been in the situation. after two minutes, you start to think you need to hold on, if we don't concede, we win the euros and the world is our oyster. it is very difficult to wrestle that mentality back. they came out in the second half with nothing to lose at that point, they were in the ascendancy, and when the goal came, i don't think it was a huge surprise. it was coming at that stage. it is very, very difficult. calvin phillips has not played in the european competition before. bukayo saka has not played a lot of european football. none of these players have

played huge games internationally. they are simply not used to it. you can go on about tactics, italy where a better side. can go on about tactics, italy where a betterside. history can go on about tactics, italy where a better side. history will tell you that the average age for the euros is about 27 or 28. england's average was 2a in that game. italy is 28. with all their experience, you have to go through the situations to come out the other side to when you go again. there are many debt debt when they reinvented their game and went through the whole process of youth team to senior team, they got 2/4—finals, semifinals, finals, and finally got to the finals and won it. it is part of the process. you do not win every single time. just before i do not win every single time. just before i let _ do not win every single time. just before i let you _ do not win every single time. just before i let you go, a thought on the team, where does it go from

here? bukayo saka, he's only 19, lots of really young players in their early 20s and they got to this final with gareth southgate. they have to take a huge amount of positives from that, don't they? absolutely. there are lots of young players who are only going to get better in that situation. it is very exciting times. it is very difficult not to look at the sadness and the disappointment from last night, but it is an incredibly bright future for these players. for all those who are throwing abuse at the players, and some of the vile things, it's disgraceful, how can you go from loving these players to suddenly hating them three hours later? it makes no sense in any way, shape or form. before the game, everyone

loved them, it's coming home, sweet caroline, everything else, three hours later, horrendous abuse of these players. bukayo saka is 19 years old. let's applaud him. it is years old. let's applaud him. it is not real fans _ years old. let's applaud him. it is not real fans if _ years old. let's applaud him. it is not real fans if you _ years old. let's applaud him. it is not real fans if you can do that. yes, but it is more than a minority and some of the scenes outside wembley were not great. all those people that maybe think, giving bukayo saka artjaden people that maybe think, giving bukayo saka art jaden sancho abuse, what would you have done when you were 19? stand up and take a penalty with millions of people watching knowing that if you mess you are going to be an every single newspaper in the morning? and you are going to get lots of abuse? it is horrific... some of the socal fans, what they are coming outwith.

you would like to see an example of some of these individuals if they could be prosecuted. so some of these individuals if they could be prosecuted.— some of these individuals if they could be prosecuted. so called fans. there is no — could be prosecuted. so called fans. there is no place _ could be prosecuted. so called fans. there is no place for— could be prosecuted. so called fans. there is no place for it _ could be prosecuted. so called fans. there is no place for it in _ could be prosecuted. so called fans. there is no place for it in society. i there is no place for it in society. it needs to be stamped out and wiped out with tough sentences. i was at wembley last night and had to be evacuated. they were throwing things. our sky sports commentator, some of the best moments in football, he was nearly hit by a can. who are these idiots? these people need to be found, any sort of abuse, it has to be stamped out. thank you very much for your time this morning at all your thoughts on the game last night. let's talk to

england fan, linda, i hope you can hear me. i spoke to you after the win against denmark and i asked to make an appointment to talk to you next monday morning hoping we would be talking about an england victory. you have been at all their wembley gives this tournament, gave as your sense of what it was like to be their last night. it sense of what it was like to be their last night.— sense of what it was like to be their last night. it was absolutely fantastic. the _ their last night. it was absolutely fantastic. the atmosphere - their last night. it was absolutely| fantastic. the atmosphere before their last night. it was absolutely - fantastic. the atmosphere before the game, i had to get into the ground really early and i was there at five o'clock. put my flags up, that is why the flags is not behind me today because it is in my car. it was an unbelievable atmosphere, watch all the build—up before the game and everything. that is what i was therefore and i was there for england and to support my team. you

can go right, so many fans... lender, we are having a problem with the sound but i will try one final question, what is your message to gareth southgate and the england team this morning? taste gareth southgate and the england team this morning?— gareth southgate and the england team this morning? we can fight on. there are players — team this morning? we can fight on. there are players that _ team this morning? we can fight on. there are players that best - team this morning? we can fight on. there are players that best they - there are players that best they possibly can and it is onwards and upwards and let's see if eventually we can bring it home.— upwards and let's see if eventually we can bring it home. lovely to talk to ou. we can bring it home. lovely to talk to you- thank— we can bring it home. lovely to talk to you. thank you _ we can bring it home. lovely to talk to you. thank you so _ we can bring it home. lovely to talk to you. thank you so much - we can bring it home. lovely to talk to you. thank you so much for - we can bring it home. lovely to talk to you. thank you so much for your| to you. thank you so much for your time over the tournament. then was at wembley last night. from a rainy wembley, it is easing ofjust a little, let's catch up with the weather forecast with matt taylor.

some of the heaviest downpours across england and wales. one or two spots, a months worth of rain will fall and if few hours. if you showers and thunderstorms elsewhere. some outbreaks of rain into the start of tonight. most of them will fade away. one or two showers across england, also orkney and shetland towards tomorrow morning. murky and misty in many spots. temperatures will stick in the teens. a mile start to tuesday. tuesday not as wet as this morning. one or two showers to start with. most places starting drive. sunny spells developing. some showers later. it will start to feel

a touch warmer. getting warmer and still later in the week. more details on that later in the morning. from wembley let us head to the bbc sports centre. england ahead after two minutes. italy drew level after england failed to clear the ball. the game went to penalties after extra time. jordan pickford saved england's

second penalty. sadly for england, saka's penalty was saved. gareth southgate said his squad should be proud despite their defeat. we went and lose together. the calls for the penalty work my decision. my decision to ask the players to take the penalties that they did. they have got to walk away from here, heads held high. they have done more than any other team in the last 50 orso than any other team in the last 50 or so years. they should be proud of what they have done. but some disappointing reactions to the defeat. the prime minister borisjohnson and the fa have condemned racist abuse directed at the three england

players who missed penalties, marcus rashford, jadon sancho and bakayo saka. the official england account tweeted: former england striker alan shearer believes strong action needs to be taken. what on earth do people think about when these guys have been brave enough to go on and take a penalty. what are these people thinking about to go online and abuse these players? what is wrong with these people? that is sad and ridiculous. social media companies need to expose these people. absolutely disgusting. and there was another final in london yesterday as novak djokovic equalled rafael nadal�*s and roger federer�*s record of 20 grand slam titles apiece after he beat matteo berrettini at wimbledon. joe wilson has the story. at wimbledon, there are always people we miss. strong look, but now a first opportunity for matteo berrettini. novak djokovic is the ultimate opponent but when berrettini raised his game, we heard. that's in!

london supporting italy. first set, berrettini. if djokovic was shocked a bit, he reacted — took sets two and three — his fans present. past three hours, louder the noise — "matteo," chanted many. djokovic chased everything. who's winning this point? the world number one. the break followed. it should be a gripping rally on championship point — it should be a challenge to achieve something momentous. it was — grand slam title number 20. the last ten years has been an incredible journey that is not stopping here. level now with federer and nadal — they will be aware. three british players on court for the mixed doubles title —

california's desirae krawczyk and liverpool's neal skupski champions just before 8pm. that's all the sport for now. let us talk about the fans. throughout the tournament gareth southgate has said so much about the energy of the fans, how the team have fed off that energy and support and translated it into what they have been doing on the pitch. it has been a vital part of the chemistry of this tournament for england. so many of the games played here at wembley, a big home advantage in many senses for the england team. while the night ultimately ended in disappointment for the fans, i think there is this sense of overwhelming pride as well and how far the

england team got, many of them very young players. and hope for the future. the agony of losing in a penalty shoot—out. gutted. it's heartbreaking. i've never been more heartbroken. commentator: rashford has missed. to lose on penalties again isjust devastating. absolutely devastating. the night started with hope, expectation even. this is the kirby estate in bermondsey in london. in trafalgar square,

fans were desperate for an all—night party. we've made it, we're here, come on, england! this is mark and his dad, john. john was at wembley for the 1966 final and he's back. he didn't have long to wait before the whole country was in dreamland. trippier. it's trippier who will cross and it's luke shaw! we're going to enjoy these goal celebrations, because to be honest, there wasn't much else to celebrate all night. in fan zones and front rooms, england wasjumping. oh, my god! the night settled into a cagey, tense encounter, then inevitably, the almost random chaos of penalties.

from euphoricjoy... ..to total despair. that is such a devastating way for england fans to see their team going out of the tournament, again, on penalties. and yet, in defeat, gareth southgate's men have played with unity, with purpose, with dignity and with pride. they need to get their heads up — they brought this country together like we have on the kirby estate. i'm super proud of them. now come and pay us a visit. see you soon, boys. keep your heads up high, boys. come on, it's all right, it's all right. after the pandemic as well, it has brought the whole nation together, a really positive light and i think we have a lot to thank them for. i've got a newborn in there, he's been listening to his first few games. hopefully when he gets old enough, next time, we will be lifting something. we move on and let's hope - for success in the next four years.

come on, england! it's going to come home soon, it'sjust got lost. it's a question of when! so, desperate disappointment for england fans, but huge pride at what this team has already achieved and what it might do in the future. graham satchell, bbc news. after 18 months of pandemic to have live sporting events like wimbledon and of course this tournament in front of fans has been a huge boost to many peoples spirits. the tournament began here atjust over four weeks ago. the final last night, the culmination of an event that saw lots of fans back in stadiums at various venues taking part in euro 2020. while the final may have ended in defeat for england last night, there was lots to cheer along the way.

this is what 11 men on a foreign football field can do to a nation. two hours of fear, hope and faith transformed into nationaljoy. it all looked very different to begin with — an early goal from england, silence from the crowd. it's a bit disappointing so far. i mean, we were expecting a bit more. the squad was in good shape, we were believing in it, but so far, not a good result, i would say. but not everyone here was supporting italy. my heart is in my mouth. i'm feeling so nervous. i want england to win. i love foot ball. i'm so emotional. but i believe in us — it's coming home, guys! it's coming home! by the end of the second half, italy had equalized. two passionate footballing cultures settling it with penalties once again. italy scored.

england missed. this match had been framed as a battle between two teams, two nations, two cultures. and after all the banter, provocation and hype, sometimes there are no words for what it feels like to win. lucy williamson, bbc news, rome. just before i talk to my next guest year at wembley lets me bring you the viewing figures last night. a huge audience. 30.95 million people watched the game on tv, the final of the euros between england and italy. that is a combined bbc and itv viewing figures of 30.95 million. that is the biggest tv audience i

understand since the funeral of diana, princess of. 30.95 million people. —— princess of wales. it wasn't to be. it is like deja vu. when we scored that early goal, the euphoria, it is a wonderful feeling. the fans were celebrating all the way through the first—half. into the second half at feel that we were to do it. you could feel the tension slowly coming back into the game. we thought we would hold out. we did not hold out. i have seen england play every single penalty shoot—out since 1990. i thought, play every single penalty shoot—out since 1990. ithought, not play every single penalty shoot—out since 1990. i thought, not again. when the penalty scheme, i thought maybe we might be able to do it, but it was not to be. it is

maybe we might be able to do it, but it was not to be.— it was not to be. it is a real shame- _ shame. it was not to be, but it could have been. the fact that the team got to this final, many young players, they battled their way through, and some of the games were comfortable winds. there is a lot of hope year. disappointment last night of course, but a lot of hope here. there is definitely a lot of hope. i have got a lot of pride for this team. gareth southgate, his team behind there, all of the players who have stood up for what is right about modern england. so many people can get behind this new team, this new diverse team. some of my friends would go no where near england because of the bad reputation it had come at the violence, but that has been put to bed. this tournament, to a certain extent, many of my friends said they feel a connection with this team. the team went out and they stood with as as fans. i have been on the terraces where things have happened to me, i have got

team taking the knee, and the italian team did it last night as well before the game, and then you look at the abuse directed at saka, and marcus rashford and jadon sancho, you see why they take the knee. of course. we are not here to pick arguments. foryears of course. we are not here to pick arguments. for years we have had so much grief. i have had it. my friends. so many people. we have found a way to show the world, we are telling them we are not happy with certain things. that symbol is taking the knee, which was taken by martin luther king in 1965, walked to montgomery, police blocked them off, martin luther king went down on his knee, that symbol has been there for years. his knee, that symbol has been there foryears. it his knee, that symbol has been there for years. it is not political, we see black lives matter, it is not that all lies don't matter, it is just that there are issues that we have to sort out. we are not disowning anybody else stop at this
