Did it come home or come Rome?
Italy talisman Leonardo Bonucci goaded England fans by screaming 'It's coming Rome!' into a TV camera in the aftermath of his country's famous penalty shootout triumph in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley on Sunday night. The centre back scored the equaliser as the Italians came from behind to take the game to penalties, before coming out on top 3-2 in the shootout, with Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka all missing for England.
And after the Italians lifted the trophy, 34-year-old Bonucci sent a triumphant message back home that poked fun at England's famous 'It's coming home' chant.
The Juventus defender was angered by England fans booing Italy's national anthem at Wembley and made sure he got his revenge, also saying in the aftermath: 'You all still have to eat a lot of pasta' - seemingly referring to English fans' chant of 'you can stick your twirly pasta up your a***' in the build-up to Sunday night's game.
He continued: 'They wanted to bring the cup back to England but we are the ones who will take it to Rome by plane.'
Italy celebrated their first European triumph since 1968 as they arrived back in Rome in the early hours on Monday, while for England the 55-year wait for a victory in a major tournament goes on.
England lost the penalty shootout 3-2 after the match finished 1-1 after extra time.
