There is a player from the Under 17 team who had a double celebration in Limassol. Cristian Cama turned 17 yesterday and only in his dreams could he have imagined himself having a birthday party on the pitch of a Euros final that gave the Azzurrini their first-ever victory in this competition at this level. It was a long night of celebration for Italy, which began on the grass at the Limassol Arena, and ended with a dinner in the hotel and cake for the Roma player, originally from Capranica (Viterbo), who blew out the candles to round off one of the most beautiful days of his life.

Mameli's national anthem sung at the top of his voice, the chant 'We are the champions of Europe', which had never been sung by the boys of an Italian Under 17 national team. After so many disappointments from the Under 17s prior to them, for the class of 2007 and 2008 the time has come to write their name in history. There was a walk along the seafront in Limassol, one of the cities that hosted the Under 17 European Championship, and then - still full of adrenaline in the body - everyone went to sleep. The alarm clocks went off early: breakfast, transfer to the airport, where the players continued to sing and dance, and then off to Italy, where all the boys and staff members were embraced by their families. That's right, many parents and relatives were there, with their eyes full of emotion, to celebrate with the boys after the 3-0 win over Portugal. Nobody wanted to miss out, everyone will speak about that endless night forever.
