Italy erupts as Europe s soccer champions come home to Rome

ROME (AP) Thousands of fans packed Rome’s sidewalks to wildly cheer Europe’s new soccer champions as Italy toured the city in an open-topped bus on Monday evening, crowning a day that saw them honored at the presidential palace and premier’s office and cited by the Pope. The first Italy team to win the European Championship in 53 years knew it was in for an exhilarating day when it arrived at Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci Airport at dawn from London to be welcomed by a banner on the tarmac reading, “Grazie Azzurri.” To rousing cheers from airport workers, captain Giorgio Chiellini pumped his fist in the air, and coach Roberto Mancini hoisted the trophy high over their heads. There was even a cheer for defender Leonardo Spinazzola, as he hopped down the steps on one foot, his other in a cast from an Achilles tendon injury.

La Gazzetta dello Sport, one of Italy s foremost sports newspapers. Italians praised coach Mancini for leading the country out of the depths of disappointment when they missed out on qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and for guiding them to their first Euro title since 1968. Mancini has quickly restored the reputation of the Azzurri, who have won four World Cups but humiliatingly failed to qualify for the 2018 tournament in Russia. A clearly proud and delighted Corriere dello Sport sent a special message on Twitter to the Italian team: Non tutte le stelle vengono dal cielo. Grazie Azzurri! (Not all stars come from the sky. Thank you Azzurri).
