It was a magic night at Wembley where the Azzurri beat Spain on penalties to reach the UEFA Euro 2020 Final.

There was an awkward moment as a fan who entered the pitch from the stands of Wembley Stadium joined the Azzurri for their post-match celebrations.
The man hugged Marco Verratti who took a while to notice there was something weird going. The PSG star reacted pushing the fan away before a steward arrived.
In the picture posted by Alessandro Florenzi on social media, you can see the pitch invader arriving for celebrations, but his moment of glory only lasted a few seconds.
