Euro 2020 final: Italy 14-1 for World Cup after grabbing Wembley glory

Free betting reaction and news to Italy's victory over England in the final of Euro 2020 at Wembley

Three years after failing to qualify for the World Cup in Russia, Italy were crowned as European champions on Sunday, rewarding punters who backed them at 11-1 before the start of the tournament.

They needed penalties to beat England but have extended their unbeaten run to 34 games and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was crowned player of the tournament after saving from Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka in the shootout.

It was the Azzurri's first Euros triumph since 1968 and they are 14-1 to follow their Wembley success by claiming their fifth World Cup in Qatar next year.

Four-goal Harry Kane, who claimed the Golden Boot in Russia three years ago, was unable to join Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and the Czech Republic's Patrik Schick as the tournament's top goalscorer.

Ronaldo could have been backed at 14-1 at the start of the competition while Schick was 150-1 with bet365.

England are 10-1 with Hills to win their first World Cup since 1966 in the Middle East next December.
