The English national soccer team defeated the Danish team 2-1 in the semifinals and is thus the first time they have reached a European Championship final. There, coach Gareth Southgate’s team will meet Italy on Sunday. The English winning goal came in stoppage time through a controversial penalty, which England captain Harry Kane converted on the second attempt.
Almost 65,000 spectators followed the game in London’s Wembley Stadium, including numerous prominent guests. The Crown Prince couple Mary and Frederik were represented on the Danish side. They had brought their 15-year-old son, Prince Christian, with them. For the British, Prince William, among others, cheered, but he had to come without his wife Catherine. The 39-year-old is in quarantine at home after contact with a corona-positive person.
Now the whole of England is dreaming of a final victory against the Italians, so that the long-cherished motto can finally come true: “Football’s coming home”.
