Lazio striker Ciro Immobile: Italy celebrations just crazy

Lazio striker Ciro Immobile has enjoyed winning the Euros.

Immobile failed to score for Italy throughout the tournament, but was still utilised by coach Roberto Mancini.

“What's been happening since last night is crazy, we still don't believe it," Immobile told Sky Italia.

“My phone number has become known to the public, and I have received lots of messages and calls.

“We tasted what we have done during the ride on the open bus. Watching the eyes of the proud fans was fantastic."

He added: “Mancini gave me the opportunity to express myself, thank you. I would have liked to score a little more, but I wouldn't change the win for anything else in the world.

“You have to believe in dreams, I started in Torre Annunziata, a small town, and now I'm the champion of Europe.

“I really want to thank everyone for their support. All Italians must feel like European champions."
