England Fans Devastated by Loss as Celebrities Return from ‘Unforgettable Night’

Celebrities have expressed their disappointment and sorrow after England’s loss in the Euro 2024 championship final, where the trophy once again did not come home. England faced a narrow 2-1 defeat against Spain, with the decisive goal scored in the 87th minute.

This marks a painful near-victory for England, the closest they have come to winning a major football final since their World Cup triumph in 1966. The final, held at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, saw a host of high-profile spectators, including Prince William, his son Prince George, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. In a poignant moment, young Prince George was seen holding his hands to his face in disbelief at the Three Lions’ defeat.

Despite the loss, King Charles offered words of encouragement to the team, urging them to “hold their heads high.” A number of celebrities were in attendance to support the team, including Olly Murs, Piers Morgan, Rob Beckett, and former One Direction members Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.

Comedian Rob Beckett humorously shared that he had “abandoned” his family holiday in Greece to watch the final. However, the usual jovial Beckett appeared somber on his return journey after England’s defeat. His friend, Lloyd Griffith, shared a light-hearted image of them on a train packed with fans, captioning it, “We’re coming home. See you in 2026.”

Singer Olly Murs was visibly crushed by the outcome and shared his feelings on social media, lamenting the long journey back home and thanking those who accompanied him for the unforgettable but bittersweet experience.

The final also saw the attendance of notable football figures, including former England player Peter Crouch, Welsh player Gareth Bale, and Arsenal’s legendary manager Arsène Wenger.

The loss left England fans divided. Some expressed their anger and frustration with the team’s performance and management. One disgruntled fan commented, “Haven’t done anyone proud, embarrassing from the players and manager, only won 2 games in 90 minutes, Southgate needs to quit.” Another simply stated, “England were sh*t.”

However, other fans expressed pride in the team’s effort, with comments like, “You made us proud England” and “Well done boys, you played well,” reflecting a sense of appreciation for their progress in the tournament.

Meanwhile, Irish fans took to celebrating Spain’s victory, with a bar in Dublin playing Spanish music throughout the night in jubilant defiance of England’s loss. In a peculiar twist, England fans outside a pub were heard chanting, “We want Jay Slater back,” alluding to the mysterious disappearance of a teenager in Spain.

Ahead of the final, several celebrities, including Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, and Katy Perry, had extended their best wishes to the England team. Despite their hopes, the night ended in heartbreak for the team and their supporters.
