Italy fans in Cardiff go wild over Euro 2020 win against England as supporters party in the street

Italian fans in Wales were celebrating after Italy's win over England in the final of Euro 2020.

The Azzurri were crowned champions after the game went to penalties after ending 1-1 following extra time at Wembley.

In Cardiff city centre, fans were heard chanting "It’s coming where?" while celebrating along High Street, close to St Mary Street.

"Italia" could also be heard ringing out after the game.

Fans at The Flora in Cathays were ecstatic after booking out a room in the pub to watch the match. Flags were draped everywhere, wigs were donned and people were dressed up in a room which was essentially a sea of blue.
