For all the England fans out there - chin up! It will come home eventually.
And to all the Italy fans - Forza Azzurri!
It's been an absolute pleasure covering this game, and I'd like to thank all my readers for sticking with my live updates to witness history being created tonight! Until next time, this is Aditya Hosangadi signing off - cheers, have a good night!
Italy have conquered UEFA Euro 2020!
Mancini has suffered heartbreak at Wembley in the past - he was a part of the famous Sampdoria side that lost the European Cup to Barcelona in 1992, right here on this soil. For him, vindication could not have come at a better time! Football, bloody hell.
Let me rephrase that: Euro 2020 belongs to Italy!
To say that the Azzurri have fought tooth and nail is an understatement. Both on and off the pitch, Mancini and his charges have had to prove their credentials and answer questions that should never have been fielded to a world-class team such as this. Fortune favours the brave, as they say.
Italy thoroughly deserve to be European champions, not just for their sheer talent and quality but also for the grit and resolve they've shown these past weeks. Roberto Mancini's team has transformed over the past two years, and will now be remembered as one of the best Azzurri sides in history.
Heartwarming scenes there as Chiellini goes straight up to Harry Kane and gives him a hug, some words of sage advice as well. England are heartbroken, but take nothing away from their brilliance at this tournament. Penalty shoot-outs are fair, but they can also be harsh. They've been called the Three Lions for generations, and this group has done justice to that moniker this month.
Gareth Southgate knows all too well what it's like to miss a penalty at the Euros, and he'll be the perfect man to pick those youngsters back up and on their feet in the dressing room. The story's not over yet - the World Cup is only 16 months away, and something tells me this team is just getting started.
England were dumped out of Euro 2012 by Italy in a similar fashion, but it's a different set of players on the pitch tonight. History is fascinating, but it does not have much of a bearing on what's happening out there right now.
Penalties to decide the winners of the Euros, for only the second time in history.
Belotti shields the ball and earns a foul from Maguire. Italy have a free-kick in another dangerous position..
Italy get the final 15 minutes started, going from right to left.
Italy 1-1 England
We're back again, England kick things off from right to left.
Make no mistake, this has been an excellent match-up between two decidedly tactical outfits. Southgate seized the initiative at the start, but Mancini's men have responded brilliantly in the second half.
We have extra-time in the Euro 2020 final.
Blatant, but a tactical foul. Bukayo Saka was well on his way towards Donnarumma there, and Chiellini - knowing full well he doesn't stand a chance in the foot race - pulls his man down. Takes one for the team!
The forward throws himself recklessly into Phillips and earns a booking.
Italy seems to be losing their tempers here, and Bonucci clatters into Sterling. One of the more obvious bookings you'll see on the pitch.
Double change for Italy, and that's plenty of dynamism in their veins now with these two substitutions.
Sterling - still visibly unhappy with the decision that went against him - bundles into Lorenzo Insigne. Italy could not ask for a better distance from goal for this free-kick.
The referee's had enough of the lunging tackles, and Barella goes into the book.
England kick things off, going from left to right.
Both Italy and England have aces up their sleeve, and we should be in for one hell of a second half. Back in a few minutes!
Will Mancini make changes? He certainly has options on the bench - Locatelli, Berardi, Pessina, Belotti, they're all capable of making an impact.
Italy 0-1 England
But that goal was all about the finish. You'll seldom see a volley so well-controlled and sweetly struck. Luke Shaw, genius!
Italy get things underway, attacking from left to right.
Wembley Stadium has witnessed several historic occasions over the past century, but this is no mere addition to the list. Make no mistake, this means the world to England, its fans, and its sporting history.
Maguire, Stones, and Walker have been pillars of consistency so far and will be put to the test against the Azzurri. Mason Mount will likely play up front behind Sterling and Kane, and his creativity could prove decisive tonight.
Jordan Pickford; Kyle Walker, Harry Maguire, John Stones; Luke Shaw, Kieran Trippier, Declan Rice, Kalvin Phillips; Mason Mount, Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane
Substitutes:
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Conor Coady, Reece James, Jack Grealish, Marcus Rashford, Sam Johnstone, Jordan Henderson, Jadon Sancho, Tyrone Mings, Aaron Ramsdale, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka
Gianluigi Donnarumma; Emerson Palmieri, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Giovanni Di Lorenzo; Jorginho, Marco Verratti, Nicolo Barella; Federico Chiesa, Lorenzo Insigne, Ciro Immobile
Substitutes:
Domenico Berardi, Federico Bernardeschi, Alessandro Bastoni, Bryan Cristante, Alessandro Florenzi, Rafael Toloi, Alex Meret, Andrea Belotti, Manuel Locatelli, Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Pessina, Salvatore Sirigu
Italy also have a host of talented players at their disposal but are unlikely to veer away from their tried-and-tested combination. Ciro Immobile has not been at his best in the knock-outs but his stature and experience works in his favour this weekend.
We're about an hour away from an official line-ups so in the meantime, here are a few statistics to keep you company:

That brings us to the question on everyone's minds: is it really coming home? Wembley certainly seems to think so. Mancini's charges - the big-game monsters that they are - will likely thrive on a hostile crowd and a buzzing atmosphere.
The UEFA Euro 2020 has arguably been one of the most engaging competitive tournaments in recent history. England and Italy are the only two nations left, and Wembley Stadium is set to bear witness to a contest that will go down in history.
I'm Aditya Hosangadi, your host for the evening, and we're hours away from the culmination of what has been an exceptional competition.
