Italy stars & Mancini joke about England in advert after Euro 2020 final win

  /  autty

Italy stars have made a cheeky dig at England three months on from beating Gareth Southgate's men on penalties to win Euro 2020.

A new advert starring Roberto Mancini and three key figures from the team that lifted the trophy concludes with a joke about their final win over the Three Lions.

In the advert for the Italian Post Office, Mancini answers his door to see Chelsea star Jorginho and Juventus duo Leonardo Bonucci and Manuel Locatelli.

Veteran defender Bonucci turns to midfielder Jorginho, who is holding a package, and asks what he brought.

Jorginho offers the Italy boss a parcel and tells him it's an Italian dessert called 'Zuppa Inglese' - which translates literally as 'English soup'.

The advert then ends with Bonucci and Locatelli laughing at Jorginho's quip.

It was a heartbreaking defeat for England who had taken the lead through Luke Shaw only to be pegged back by Bonucci mid-way through the second half.

Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka then missed from the spot during the penalty shootout as Italy went on to take victory.

The Italians have since basked in the glory of winning since they defeated Three Lions, making light of the 'it's coming home' chant by England supporters.

Immediately after the final whistle Bonucci shouted 'it's coming to Rome'  into a TV camera.

The Juventus defender was angered by England fans booing Italy's national anthem at Wembley and made sure he got his revenge, also saying in the aftermath: 'You all still have to eat a lot of pasta' - seemingly referring to English fans' chant of 'you can stick your twirly pasta up your a***' in the build-up to the game.

He continued: 'They wanted to bring the cup back to England but we are the ones who will take it to Rome by plane.'

Speaking to the Athletic in September, the 34-year-old revealed how the confidence among England supporters motivated them to win at Wembley.

Bonucci said : 'We didn't pay much attention to it until the Spain game [semi-final], then the anger inside of us began to mount.

'We wanted to show them that the final hadn't already been decided. That they hadn't already won.

'Hearing that song on repeat and the comment from Declan Rice saying England were ten times more motivated to win than us… well, they're the kind of mistakes young players make.

'You don't say that. You should never say you want something more than somebody else or you're better than somebody else.'
