There was a beautiful moment inside San Siro during the Nations League Final between Spain and France, as local fans united to celebrate Italy’s UEFA EURO 2020 triumph.
The Azzurri had hoped to be here this evening, but were beaten 2-1 by Spain in the semi-final, so instead played a 2-1 victory over Belgium at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin.
Many locals had bought tickets for this game anyway and attended to watch France and Spain face off for the trophy.
At half-time, there was a beautiful and spontaneous moment when the crowd began to sing: ‘We are the Champions of Europe.’
Thousands then held up their phones as makeshift lighters to brighten the stands, in a stadium that is still only at 50 per cent capacity due to COVID restrictions.
Italian arenas will open up to 75 per cent from next week.
Datemi la mano, che vi faccio volare.
Dal nulla a San Siro all’intervallo i tifosi italiani intonano “I campioni dell’Europa siamo noi” e spontaneamente parte una ‘fiaccolata’ con le luci dei telefonini.

Must have been Inter fans am I right? couldn’t possible have been those barbarians of the AC variety /s
Weird, before they booing the Nazionale and got loose to Spain
Now they singing for Final which hope it’s Nazionale who in Final
Pathetic
i think there werent many toxic milan fans this time
No one ever booed the Nazionale, they booed one player, who was their former player and had just betrayed the club.
Fools.
“Milan fan” … they boo one player who is pivot to the Italian team, they booed him every time he touched the ball.. so he would play bad … guess what that means??? Booing the whole team… You’re not the brightest bulb
These fans act like scorned a 13-year-old high school girls. Grow up. For an Italian The Azzurri shirt should come before anything else on the field to both players or spectators.

Blah blah blah, I stopped reading at pivot to the team. As if that matters. He wasn’t booed based on his importance you fool, he could’ve been Jesus Christ himself. He got booed for what he had done.
Your deductive skills are as good as my pet dog. You went from one player being booed to booing the whole team, like other players didn’t know the backstory. Duuuuumb.
If a professional player of football who has chosen money over respect can’t take a few boos from the fans then he’s no different than 13-year-old school girls and needs to grow up.
You don’t jeer the player of the national team, ever. No matter what the reason.
A beautiful moment of celebration from true Milanese, a stark contrast to the non-stop whistling and jeering of Italian players from the curva sud goons in the previous game. Thankfully the National team also played in a nice celebratory atmosphere this time to end the tournament in a more positive note.
@ MILAN FAN AND @ SAMMY
THE FOOL IS YOU. YOU JUST DONT GET THE MESSAGE. I WAS TAUGHT AT UNIVERSITY TO JUST WALK AWAY FROM IDIOTS LIKE YOU AND TO FINALISE, SAMMY IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THE DUMB IS YOU MILAN FAN AND EVERYBODY LIKE YOU.
Milan fans are the dumb fans yet the same fans lit up the stadium hahaha haters are mad
Have you ever been in the pitch when one of your teammates is booed and how the rest of you feels?you just feel you are the one been booed!and it hurts when your own fans are the ones running the hostile show!
This is the power of the fans, the power of the Milanisti. No player is bigger than the club.
Forza Milan.
Sammy
You can hold hands with Tonino. You just answered for everyone who doesn’t understand football past or present and for those who don’t seem to understand that no one booed Italy just Donnarumma; your words- “they booed one player…” i didn’t read past that for a moment because I believed it was at that point you might have finally understood what was happening and stopped making yourself look as ridiculous as those others also complaining about san siro, milan fans and everything else you lot are moaning about unfortunately then i read on to see you didn’t save yourself at all, you did indeed make yourself look ridiculous, you poor thing.
With all due respect it is you that sounds more like a 13 year old school girl with crush on Donnarumma.
I got an idea that will help you, Tonino and any one who shares your ridiculous views; Go watch England and the premier league, there they clap, cheer and congratulate players and teams win, lose or draw, everyones a hero there. You can go join there blogs and praise one another there and leave the real football discussions to us over at football italia!
