In the celebration, which involved a parade down the mall and, of course, a trophy lift, the musical performance was definitely the peak of excitement.

Over 65,000 people flocked to the capital to see the superstars, including the likes of Chloe Kelly, Michelle Agymang and Lucy Bronze and were treated to a shock performance.

The announcer, when interviewing the England manager said: “Please give it up, everybody for Sarina’s favourite artist…Burna Boy!”

She responded by screaming: “Oh no way!!”Sarina was visibly thrilled and immediately went over to hug the star and joined him in song.

Burna came out and the pair walked to the centre of the stage and embraced as the Euros winner joined him in singing his track ‘For My Hand’, in a moment that has gone viral.

Fans were pleasantly surprised that the manager has such great music taste, and made fun of the fact that this is the most excited they have ever seen her.
