Adele has led the celebrities commiserating England’s devastated players after the Three Lions suffered a heart-breaking defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.
Gareth Southgate’s men triggered wild scenes of celebration inside a packed Wembley when defender Luke Shaw scored an early goal.
However, Italy came back into the match and equalised in the second-half, with the two sides needing a penalty shootout to decide the tournament.
Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka all failed to score from 12 yards, meaning the trophy went to Rome.
Amid an outpouring of gratitude for England’s vanquished players, Adele was among the famous faces thanking the team for a captivating tournament.
