Much to the relief of people across Scotland football has not, in fact, come home.
Sunday night saw England beaten on penalties by Italy as the Azzurri lifted the trophy for the first time since 1968.
The hosts took the lead through Manchester United star Luke Shaw after just two minutes and looked to be in control of the game.
As the match went on though Italy began to dominate, with the goal the only shot on target England managed.
Leonardo Bonucci equalised before the Italians won on penalties, despite Gareth Southgate's decision to send on Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho to take kicks.
Here's how the continent's media reacted to the win starting, of course, with Italy.
Italy
The Gazzetta dello Sport's front page simply read "too beautiful" and inside the paper noted that Roberto Mancini and Gianluca Vialli had banished some demons from their playing career at Sampdoria.
They wrote: "Champions of Europe! Mancini in tears, embraced by his brother Vialli.
"Wembley is no longer the memory of a final lost (Samp in 1992) but the cathedral of their most beautiful triumph, that which these twins had never seen as Azzurri players."
The match report notes that "England thought only of defending, like Italy once upon a time", but points out the "great pride" for Italy is that they won not by being the most cunning and streetwise but by playing the best football.
In their player ratings the newspaper calls Giorgio Chiellini "monstrous" but awards man of the match to Gianluigi Donnarumma, awarding him a rare 9/10.
Perhaps the ultimate compliment for the goalkeeper is that he is compared to Dino Zoff and Gigi Buffon.
But inevitably the veteran centre-back pairing of Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci were given special attention.
A piece titled 'the sky is ever more blue' asks: "How can you be frightened if your captain is Giorgio Chiellini, who did not miss an intervention, who closed any gap, who marked Harry Kane as if he were an amateur?
"How can you be frightened if you see the ferocious grin of Leonardo Bonucci, who equalised with an opportunist flick, who allows himself the luxury of two headed back passes that would be risky for anyone but not for him, who guides you with screams, with looks, with gestures: by example.
"Giorgio and Leo, the leaders of this exceptional group.
"Giorgio and Leo, who helped Federico Chiesa grow up during the season in Turin, he whose leap in quality is by far the prevailing technical aspect of recent months as well as of this European Championship.
"Giorgio and Leo, who heartened Federico Bernardeschi in the dark period he had at Juve, and yesterday their team-mate repaid them with his second decisive penalty of the tournament."
Corriere dello Sport simply declared "it's ours!" on the front page as they raved about the national team inside.
The Rome-based daily had a cheeky dig at England's famous anthem as they wrote: "Champions of Europe! Champions of Europe! The god of football prefers to stay at home with us.
"A night for the ages under a Wembley rain that soaked the English, who were drunk only on beer.
"And we, in tears, embraced Roberto Mancini who was in tears by the end, like a man overcome with his own achievement.
"We will need a monument to him, the builder of an unprecedented national team, on 11 July a day formerly reserved for Saint Bearzot.
"And while we're at it one for Gigio Donnarumma, the best player at the tournament and the hero of the evening, who ended it once again on penalties, when he hypnotised Rashford, Sancho and Saka in succession, opening the door to glory for the Azzurri, 53 years after the last continental success.
"Long live this extraordinary Italy, led by captain Chiellini, capable of reacting to Shaw's lightning strike thanks to an extraordinary Bonucci, transformed into a goalscorer, and to a performance without issues.
"The Azzurri played, the English didn't, except for the first 20 minutes."
The paper's player ratings describe Donnarumma as the best goalkeeper in the world and Chiellini as "gigantic, emotional, timeless".
There was criticism for Southgate though, awarded a 6/10: "He takes out a winger like Saka and puts Trippier in the starting XI with the effect of creating density in the midfield by freeing the wings.
"He gets the same result as Luis Enrique in the semi-final with Spain, blocking Insigne and Verratti, the sources of the Azzurri game.
"England don't have the Spanish ability on the ball though and it doesn't last long, just half an hour. After that there is only Italy.
"He loses the European Championship at Wembley, and rightly so."
France
The front page of L'Équipe alluded to Italy's 34 match unbeaten run, calling them "invincibles".
Inside they wrote: "Italy is probably the most beautiful European champion possible, for their starting intentions and magnificent mental solidity, but also for the way in which they were able to come back in this final which started badly, and which they ended up controlling for a long time , much better, for example, than they had controlled the round of 16 tie against Austria (2-1 AET) and the semi-final against Spain.
"It is the triumph of spirit, a reflection and a requirement, maintained over the course of 34 matches without defeat, which will be able to remind nations that have forgotten that the team is above everything and that even with an attack of such low international calibre - with the exception of the talented Chiesa - one can wake up on a Monday morning in July with a magnificent crown on your head."
The paper also made reference to Baddiel and Skinner as they stated: "After spending the start of the summer singing 'football's coming home', the English will remember that it is a song where they make fun of themselves and cultivate the mythology of their failures. So it will be useful to them for a while yet."
England were also criticised for lacking a plan B, with their "infinite sadness" being described as partially their own fault for only playing for the first half hour.
Southgate's decision to send on Rashford and Sancho for penalties also came under the microscope, with Raymond Domenech having tried a similar move in the 2006 World Cup final.
L'Équipe wrote: "Gareth Southgate took the risk of a double change on a defensive set-piece, which coaches never do, finishing with five forwards, to be sure to have Rashford and Sancho in the penalty shootout series.
"Remembering Wiltord and Trézeguet in the 2006 World Cup final, he should have been warned that these things never work against Italy."
Le Parisien had a harsh assessment of England's footballing history as they wrote: "Italy ended their own curse at the same time as they extended England's, the eternal loser of international football.
"The Squadra Azzurra reached paradise, with a second European Championship after the one they won in 1968 but especially after two finals lost in 2000 and 2012.
"When they do not meet historic winners, such as France or Spain, they have less trouble. Faced with England and their DNA of permanent defeat, it was enough to wait: it would be won either in the match, or extra time, or on penalties."
Spain
The front page of AS turned Italian for the day as they wrote: "Bravissima!".
Inside Mirko Calemme wrote: "To win like this, after having suffered so much on and off the field, is wonderful, inexplicable. Doing it with a 34-game unbeaten streak, dominating at Wembley against 60,000 Englishmen and with a goal conceded after 120 seconds, with Spinazzola in the stands and Jorginho half broken, finishing without Chiesa or Insigne… It is an unforgettable feat.
"This is an Italy that learned to play well, yes, but it did so without ever abandoning its heroic side, its ability to know how to suffer in adversity. It is the Nazionale of Chiellini and Bonucci, two legends that deserved an international triumph, of Donnarumma, who has the future literally in his hands and, above all, of Roberto Mancini. Wembley gave back to him and Vialli what it took from them in 1992. Their embrace and his tears are ours.
"Grazie, ragazzi: we are champions. It's coming Rome!"
Portugal
A Bola's front page described Italy as "the new emperors", while Record couldn't help but point out they were succeeding Portugal.
The paper also pointed out the 'curse' for host nations, with their country beating France in 2016, as well as having lost in Lisbon to Greece in 2004.
