However, disaster struck when Spinazzola suffered a horror injury in Italy’s quarter-final win over Belgium.
The defender ruptured his Achilles tendon and looked to be in tears as he was carried off the pitch on a stretcher.
Spinazzola has since undergone surgery on the damaged area.
And he will be out for at least six months, dealing a huge blow to new Roma boss Jose Mourinho.
But Spinazzola looked to be in great spirits on Tuesday night as he recuperated from surgery at home with his family.
A video on social media showed the superstar taking it easy on the couch while belting out Italy’s national anthem before the semi-final penalty shootout victory against Spain.
But Spinazzola was not signing alone as young son Mattia helped him along with the words.
The inspiring scenes are sure to boost Italy and Roma fans alike, with Spinazzola appearing to be making good progress already.
