Liam Gallagher and Stephen Fry are among the stars sending commiserations to the England team after their loss to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.
The Three Lions faced an agonising defeat in a penalty shootout at Wembley.
Oasis star Gallagher sent a message of support to 19-year-old Bukayo Saka, who took the final penalty, which was saved by Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
He tweeted simply: “Love saka.”
