UEFA president Michel Platini believes the Euro 2020 semi-finals and final being held at Wembley will be a "beautiful moment" for European football.
Speaking exclusively to FATV under the arch, the former France no10 said he was thrilled to have chosen the national stadium as the centrepoint to his 13-country 'Euro for Europe'.
"It will be nice to have the 2020 Euro in 13 cities, and to finish with the semi-final and final in Wembley. It is a very good opportunity," he said.

"I came twice for the Champions League finals. The atmosphere was great and the games were beautiful.
"Then we finish in the semi-finals and final in one country to bring all the people together to enjoy a beautiful moment over five days."
Platini also congratulated Wayne Rooney after he broke the England goalscoring record, and shared his intention to arrest the decline of homegrown players playing in Europe's major leagues, particularly England's Premier League.
"We share the same problem with [FA Chairman] Greg Dyke. We have to protect the nationality but it is forbidden by the European Commission, by the treaty, so that people are free to travel in Europe," he said.
"The job of the national associations is to defend their football, but if they have no players to play for the national teams then it will be a very big problem.
"I will always defend the national associations. It is not so easy but I will do my best."
