Frank Skinner has said UEFA opposed plans for him and David Baddiel to perform Three Lions (Football's Coming Home) on the pitch before the Euro 2020 final. Skinner claimed the tournament's organisers said performing the song at Wembley before England play Italy on Sunday would be "too partisan and not fair to the Italians". "In the opening game, which was Italy versus Turkey, Andrea Bocelli sang Nessun Dorma before the game." Three Lions (Football's Coming Home) by Baddiel, Skinner and The Lightning Seeds has become an anthem for England supporters since it was first released in 1996. But added "the song is about us for us, it's been a long old wait for a final".
