The son of Italy coach Roberto Mancini says a ticketless England fan took his seat during the Euro 2020 final on Sunday.
Ticketless fans forced their way inside Wembley stadium, with Andrea Mancini among those affected.
“There was a mess with ticketless fans and my seat had been taken, so I had to watch the first half sitting in the stadium's steps," Andrea Mancini, a former Manchester City midfielder, said.
“I found another place in the second half. Perhaps it brought good luck."
He also said: "Before the tournament, my brothers and I gifted him a blue horseshoe, telling him it would bring good luck. He's kept it in his suitcase.
“Three years ago, he was the only one to believe Italy could achieve this result."
