It is very high fever since late morning in London, despite the concerns aroused by the rebound of Covid infections fueled by the Delta variant, for the final of the Europeans against Italy scheduled tonight (at 20 local time, 21 in Italy) at Wembley. The day, basically cloudy with some forecast of intermittent rain, opened with the early morning explosion of some firecrackers and fireworks near the hotel that hosts Roberto Mancini's national team, according to Sky News Uk, attributing the stunt to a group of English fans, but reporting information from Italian sources according to which the sleep of the Azzurri does not appear to have been disturbed.
Then, around noon, the first spectators began to flock to the stadium, where as for the semifinals over 65,000 admissions are allowed - never so many in a European public event since the outbreak of the pandemic -, but also to the fenced areas with entrances numbers of the Trafalgar Square fan zone and other places in the capital where maxi screens have been installed. Finally, full well in advance, even in numerous pubs that offer - with reservations required - the vision of the game: where queues are already in progress.
