Fans packed Sheffield city centre on Sunday evening for the Euro 2020 final but it wasn’t to be for England as they suffered more penalty heartbreak.

Anticipation and excitement had been building across the city and the rest of England in the build-up to the match as Gareth Southgate’s heroes – including Sheffield lads Kyle Walker, Harry Maguire and Dominic Calvert-Lewin – prepared to take on Italy at Wembley Stadium.

It was the first time the England’s men’s team had made the final of a major tournament for 55 years – but their agonizing wait for glory goes on.

Pubs, bars and living rooms across Sheffield were filled with jubilant fans rejoicing after a difficult 16 months brought about by the coronavirus pandemic – and a city street was even renamed after one of the stars of the England team.
