The 21-year-old Briton attended the game at Wembley Stadium andﷺ watched England agonisingly lose to Italy during a tense penalty shootout as the men’s national team missed out on the chance to end its 55-year wait for a major trophy.

A report by The Sun on Monday evening claimed that Norris was held up by robbers who stole his £💃40,000 wa🐽tch as he attempted to get into his McLaren GT supercar following the match.

McLaren confirmed Norris was unhurt in🅘 the accident in a team🗹 statement.

“McLaren Racing can confirm that Lando Norris was involved in an incide🌃nt, after the Euro 2020 final match at Wembley, during which the watch he was wearing ⛎was taken,” the statement read.

“Thankfully, Lando was unharmed but he is understandably shaken. The team is supporting Lando and we are sure that racin𝄹g fans will join us in wishing him aꦜll the best for the British Grand Prix this weekend.

“As this is now a police matter 🌞we cannot comment further.”

England’s bigge🌳st game since 1966 was overshadoweﷺd by chaotic and unsavoury scenes as ticketless fans broke into Wembley Stadium ahead of kick-off.

Foo💞tage from inside Wembley showed fans f🌱ighting after crowds had stormed through the security gates.

The FA🥂 condemned the incident as “entirely unacceptable” and The Metro🌃politan Police said it had made 86 arrests in connection with the final, while nineteen police officers were injured.

Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka w💎ere the targets of racist abuse on social media after all three England players missed penalties in the defeat to Italy.

Earlier on Monday, seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton released a🅘 message of support for the England trio as he blasted the abuse.
