West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna certainly seemed to enjoy watching Italy overcome Spain on Tuesday night.
The 33-year-old’s compatriots reached the Euro 2020 final following a victory on penalties after the match ended 1-1 after extra time.
Chelsea midfielder Jorginho netted the winning spot-kick to take the Azzurri through to Sunday’s showpiece where they will await the winners of England and Denmark.
Ogbonna, who might’ve felt hard done by to miss out on the squad, watched the game at home and celebrated the moment in style.

The 13 times capped Irons’ centre-back made a debut for Italy way back in November 2011 and was on the bench for Roberto Mancini’s side as recently as July 2020.
Born in Cassino and a former Juventus and Torino star, the no-nonsense defender has become a favourite under David Moyes at the London Stadium.
Despite missing eight games for the Hammers with an ankle injury last season, Ogbonna still amassed 30 appearances for the east Londoners.

What a man and what a servant to West Ham.
Unsurprisingly a majority of Hammers were delighted to allow Ogbonna to revel in reaching the final, a stance that may change should England overcome the Danes.
Back at club level, the experienced Italian, who is in the final 12 months of a contract at the London Stadium, has rejoined a host of teammates as they reconvene for pre-season training.
