On UEFA's orders Molineux was largely empty but some exceptions were made. Up in the stand, just along from the official parties, sat David Platt.
There to observe the work of his friends Roberto Mancini - with whom he won a Premier League title at Manchester City 10 years ago - and Gianluca Vialli - with whom he played at Juventus in 1992-93 - it was nevertheless hard not to think of the impact Platt once had on an England team.
Platt played in the England midfield 62 times between 1989 and 1996 and scored 27 goals.
