Brazilian model bets £73,000 on England winning Euros - says 'it's coming home'

A football-mad Brazilian model who recently got a tattoo of Lionel Messi has revealed she's backing England to win the Euros - and has put her money where her mouth is.

Suzy Cortez says she's bet $100,000 (£73,000) on England lifting the trophy on July 11 after the Three Lions' glorious 2-0 win over Germany on Tuesday.

As well as admiring a stellar performance from Southgate's men, Suzy also has eyes for a particular player - 21 year old Phil Foden.

The 31-year-old said: “Phil Foden is the best of his generation, he will follow in Lionel Messi's footsteps and win several golden balls."

“I'm sure England will be Euro champions."

She added: "I really believe it's coming home for England!"

While watching the England v Germany knockout game, she spotted another of her favourite footballing icons in the crowd.

“David Beckham is the most handsome and sexiest player I've seen in football and he was a great player too," she said.

The model, who regularly shows off her love for Messi’s team Barcelona, first shot to fame in 2015 when she won Brazil’s Miss BumBum title, which she did for a second time in 2019.

Wearing an England top for a series of steamy snaps, she posted on Instagram : “Football's Coming Home! #ThreeLions #ENG #Euro2020.”
