Meanwhile, Gianluigi Donnarumma must be given credit for saving Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka's spot-kicks while Marcus Rashford was denied by the woodwork.
COVID-19 kept Bernardeschi from hugging Veronica since May
According to SunSport, both Bernardeschi and his 36-year-old spouse were unable to embrace each other since late May as the player was in a strict COVID-19 bubble with his international teammates until after the final last weekend.
Meanwhile, none of the title-winning squad was said to have attended the wedding ceremony as reported by the publication.
Ciardi was said to have become famous after appearing in Italy's version of Big Brother between 2009 and 2010, later working as a TV correspondent.
