It's the hottest gig in town and Tom Cruise has achieved mission impossible by blagging a ticket to Italy vs England in the Euro 2020 final.

Only 66,000 people are allowed into Wembley tonight for the biggest football match on these shores for 55 years.

Some fans even got lucky as late as Thursday as tickets went back on sale for supporters of the Three Lions and the Azzurri.

Cruise will have had a busy Sunday having already been to the Wimbledon Men's final, where he witnessed Novak Djokovic vs Matteo Berrettini.

But he clearly enjoyed the start, as he was seen fist bumping David Beckham in the stands when Luke Shaw scored the very early opener.

And Cruise was joined by some incredible names from English and Italian football in the best seats in the house.

As well as Beckham, there was England World Cup winner Sir Geoff Hurst, who scored a hat-trick in the 4-2 win over West Germany in 1966, along with Wayne Rooney and, err, Robbie Keane.

Italy will also have some legends in attendance with Alessandro Nesta and Gianluca Zambrotta among those in the stands.

They will join the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their son Prince George, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.

Meanwhile, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin and FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who attended the Copa America final in the early hours of this morning, are also expected.

World Cup winner Hurst has brushed away claims this week that he might not want England to win the tournament given the place in history he holds.

"The cynics will look at me and say that I don't want England to do well, win the World Cup or the Euros which is absolute nonsense," the 1966 hero said.

"I understand more than anyone how important it is for our national team to be successful, for themselves and for the country.

"So I am a fan and I want us to do well and to win - that's what I was brought up to do as a player and what I want us to do as a fan now.

"I am as thrilled and as happy if we are doing well in tournaments as any other fan in England."
