While Italy lifted the Euro 2020 trophy by beating England on penalties, there was one couple in the crowd at the final match who turned heads left, right, and centre. Among the 60,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, the camera crew was able to spot a woman dressed in a pizza costume with her face painted in the colours of the Italian flag. Next to her was also her significant other, who was dressed as Mario from the famous game franchise.
Viewers were left in hysterics after spotting the duo. As soon as the couple was seen on the big screen at the Wembly Stadium, netizens were also assured that a meme fest was soon incoming. What really ticked social media users was the woman’s rather unimpressed facial expression as the man spoke to her. Here are some of the most trending reactions to the Pizza-Mario couple:

Euro 2020 final
Meanwhile, there were several celebrities on the stands during the game. Apart from members of the Royal Family, David Beckham and Tom Cruise’s fist-bumping after England’s opening goal caught the attention of several people. Many fans in the stand were also seen with extraordinary makeup and costumes.
It was a moment of pure joy and passion as the Azzurri captain Giorgio Chiellini lifted the Euro 2020 trophy as Italy claimed their second European Championship, with the first one back in 1968. The match started with England taking the lead early in the second minute through a wonderful Luke Shaw half volley after a pinpoint Kieran Trippier cross to send Wembley into raptures. They dominated the initial 20 minutes of the game with the change of formation for England tough for the Italians to read. However, the Italians soon found the rhythm that they had throughout the tournament. The Azzurri dominated the proceedings after that and in the 67th minute, Bonnuci found the back of the net owing to a goalmouth scramble following a dangerous corner.
