Euphoria on streets of Rome as Italy head to Euro 2020 final

'Magic night' celebrations in towns and cities across Italy after victory against Spain.

There were widespread scenes of euphoria on the streets of Rome and other Italian cities last night after the Azzurri beat Spain in a penalty shoot-out to head into the Euro 2020 final this weekend.

The victory came following a nail-biting finish to the match in London's Wembley Stadium, after the teams ended extra time 1-1, with the winning penalty taken in grand style by Jorginho.
