The video of Immobile going down screaming and withering in the box has gone viral on social media. In the video, the Italian striker is seen immediately getting up and running to Barella to celebrate the goal as soon as he realised his teammate has scored the goal.
Twitterati was quick to react on Immobile's theatrics on the social media:
Belgium saw Romelu Lukaku getting a goal back at the stroke of half time, but they were unable to equalise in the 2nd half and were knocked out of Euro 2020. Italy will now face off against Spain in the semifinal match on Tuesday.
