When: July 11, 2021
KutiWembley Stadium, London
Start: 19:00 GMT
Italy will beat England in the final of the 2020 European Championship on Sunday.
60,000 people are expected to pick up Wembley Stadium in London to see England in the Euro final.
Italy, who won the tournament in 1968, missed the 2018 World Cup and makes it to the final four times in history.
It comes at the back of an amazing run in 33 undefeated games.
The European competition is the second most watched competition in the world after the World Cup, with the 2016 World Cup attracting more than two billion viewers, according to UEFA.
Italy vs England, two
England and Italy met last in a 1-1 draw in March 2018
The two teams have an 82-year-old race with their first game, a 1-1 draw, in Rome in 1933.
England ruled for the next 40 years, losing one of six games against Italy until 1973 when they lost 2-0 at the Stadio Comunale in Turin.
During the World Cup in Italy in 1990, their opponents won 2-1 in the third match.
The last time the two countries played in the European Championship took place in 2012 when Italy beat England 4-2 on aggregate.
Unbeatable running
Both teams did not lose a game in this game.
In the last 16, England beat Germany 2-0, while Italy beat Austria 2-1.
When England beat Ukraine 4-0 to reach the semi-finals, Italy drew close, beating Belgian 2-1.
In the semi-finals against Denmark, England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford broke the 55-year-old’s goal of 720 minutes without conceding a goal … just minutes before England conceded their first goal of the tournament.
England won 2-1, made a self-imposed tackle of the penalty shootout, and were heartbroken by Denmark after finishing their last four games despite losing the first two games to center-back Christian Ericksen.
Final matches in Italy and Spain provided penalties for the former 4-2.
It is the second cup, England’s first
The last time Italy won the tournament was in 1968. England will play for the first time in the European Championship.
The European competition was held in France for the first time in 1960. It was established as a knockout competition where only four top teams participated in the event.
Over the past few years, the number of participating groups has grown from four in 1960, eight in 1980, 16 in 1996 to 24 in 2016.
For the first time in its history, the tournament was played in 11 European cities.
Spain and Germany have won three Euros each.
