However, amidst all the celebrating and pandemonium, a steward's blunder of mistaking Leonardo Bonucci for an Italian supporter has now gone viral. 

Following Italy's victory, Bonucci along with the rest of the Italian players rushed towards their fans at Wembley Stadium. Stewards had stepped in to ensure the safety of supporters and fans alike. 

As Bonnuci approached the fans, a steward stopped him as they thought he was a supporter invading the pitch. 

A bemused Bonucci looked at her with shock and confusion. 

Check it out below.

This incident as you can imagine did not go unnoticed with online users.

One wrote, "No surprise here, the stewards are always facing the crowd and with their backs towards the players, so how could she recognize a player".
