Italian gamesmanship was in full flow in the Euro 2020 final, not that it was something we didn't expect in all truth.
Giorgio Chiellini's tug of Bukayo Saka's jersey late on in injury time typified that Italian cynicism that we all grew to love during the competition.
The final saw Twitter and Reddit explode (as per usual) with prime meme content on Chiellini's exquisite tug of Saka's jersey.
Here are the best one's that emerged after a dramatic night that saw football come to Rome.
