Italy captain Giorgio Chiellini is certainly not nervous going into the UEFA EURO 2020 Final, as he greeted England defender Harry Maguire with a cry of: ‘Big man!’
It kicks off at Wembley at 20.00 UK time, click here for the line-ups and LIVEBLOG.
Chiellini has said he will be enjoying every moment of his career from now on, realising he is in the final years, and that was evident from his joshing with Jordi Alba during the coin toss ahead of the semi-final penalty shoot-out.
The Juventus veteran was also in clearly joyful mood as he walked into Wembley Stadium for the game.
He spotted England defender Maguire in the tunnel and walked over with the greeting: “Big man!”
Chiello then walked off, pumping his fists and enjoying the music pumped out by the stadium DJ.
Roberto Mancini wanted his Italy side to enjoy themselves in the Final and it seems as if Chiellini is leading the way on that score.
“Big man!”
