The EURO 2020 final between England and Italy produced a great game of football on the field and equally horrible incidents off the field. Before the kickoff, many fans barged into the iconic Wembley Stadium without the tickets, which resulted in acts of hooliganism and vandalism before and after the match. One such victim of all the violence during the finals was Formula One driver, Lando Norris. The Bristol-born driver had shared his pictures on Instagram, as he watched the match from the corporate box. Although he was sad that England lost, he seemed to have enjoyed the encounter.
However, things went absolutely downhill for the 21-year-old racer after the match. It has been reported that when Lando was going back towards his car outside the stadium, he had his £40,000 watch stolen by few people. Although he did not suffer any injury, the youngster was shaken by the incident.
"McLaren Racing can confirm that Lando Norris was involved in an incident, after the Euro 2020 final match at Wembley, during which the watch he was wearing was taken. Thankfully, Lando was unharmed but he is understandably shaken. The team is supporting Lando and we are sure that racing fans will join us in wishing him all the best for the British Grand Prix this weekend. As this is now a police matter we cannot comment further," McLaren's official statement read.
For all the offences committed by people during the EURO 2020 final, as many as 53 people have already been arrested by the police.
