Beatrice Mattioli in Rome told Reuters news agency.
“IT’S INCREDIBLE, IT’S INCREDIBLE, YOU CAN’T FEEL BETTER THAN THIS, IT IS AMAZING, AND WE WON THE FINAL!”
Said Stefano Gucci, another supporter in the Italian capital.
The triumphant team landed at Rome’s Fiumicino airport early on Monday morning. Crowds cheered as they disembarked, and later as they arrived at their hotel. Italy has won its first European football title since 1968 after a penalty shoot-out victory over England in the final of Euro. The match ended 1-1 after extra time and Italy’s fans erupted into wild celebrations on the streets of Rome. Roberto Mancini has transformed a national team from the shame of failing to qualify for the last World Cup to a side unbeaten now in 34 games.
