Leonardo Bonucci stares straight down the lens and tells England how it is

He could potentially be the least popular person in England right now

Leonardo Bonucci equalised for Italy in the second half, to bring the game to 1-1.

As if that alone wouldn’t be enough to anger the English, he went straight up to the TV cameras and screamed something that he clearly had planned already.

The goal proved vital as it finished with one apiece at full time, meaning that once again, the game had to be settled on penalties.

Rashford, Sancho and Saka missed three of England’s penalties in a row, meaning that Italy are the Euros 2020 champions.

Bonucci was just seconds away from eating his words, but in the end it proved to be an honest statement, albeit a hurtful one for those cheering The Three Lions.
