Italy prevailed in the tense penalty shoot-out after the game ended 1-1 at the end of extra time.
The British driver Norris shared pictures of himself attending the game on his personal Instagram account and posted the message “Proud of our team” in his story.
When leaving the stadium, which had previously been infiltrated by English fans without a ticket, the 21-year-old was attacked and “shaken” by the experience, as his team announced on Monday evening.
The statement said: “McLaren Racing can confirm that Lando Norris was involved in an incident following the 2020 Euro Final at Wembley where the watch he was wearing was taken away.
“Luckily Lando was unharmed, but he is understandably shaken.
“The team supports Lando and we are sure that the racing fans together wish him all the best for the British Grand Prix this weekend.”
The statement added that no further comment would be made “as this is now a police matter”.
Norris is the only F1 driver in 2021 who has scored points in all nine Grand Prix so far and last time took third place at the Austrian Grand Prix, his third podium of the year.

Hamilton supports English players
The reigning Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton posted a message of solidarity to the three English footballers who were racially insulted on social media after the final.
Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka missed their sentences in the shooting, resulting in a flurry of hate messages that were widely condemned.
Hamilton wrote on his Instagram account that he was “concerned” when the players came out to take their spot kicks and criticized the “disgusting” messages they received, which he said “show how much work is going on still needs to be done ”.
“I hope this opens a conversation about acceptance,” he wrote.
“We need to work towards a society that doesn’t ask black players to prove their worth or place in society just by winning.
“Ultimately, everyone on the English team should be so proud of their performance and how they represented us.”
