Albania’s 2–0 win over Finland caught the attention of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who shared a story from a dinner he attended during the European Political Community summit.
Rama said he was seated at the same table as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and the prime minister of Finland, the country Albania had just beaten on the pitch.
The Albanian prime minister said the dinner became even more interesting after Albania’s victory, noting that Italy had also beaten France.
Rama said French President Emmanuel Macron was seated at the next table, and joked about how the two results had shaped the conversation among the leaders.
“I can’t thank the lads on the national team enough. They gave us a fantastic win against Finland, and Italy beat France. You can imagine how the conversation went,” Rama said.
The prime minister said he had ended the evening on a winning note. He saluted Albania’s players and shared a joke about dining with representatives of countries that had faced each other on the football pitch.
“We were at dinner, and now I’m in the car. My sister and I ended tonight’s dinner with a win,” Rama said.
Albania’s 2–0 victory over Finland thus became a talking point among European leaders over dinner.
