Graziano Pelle fires Italy to Euro 2016 win over Belgium as model girlfriend Viktoria Vargas poses with blow-up doll of striker

Graziano Pelle capped a masterful display with a goal against Belgium as Italy got off to the perfect start at Euro 2016, and the striker's girlfriend was only too pleased to provide her own personal tribute.

Antonio Conte's side produced arguably the stand-out performance of the European Championship finals so far as Emanuele Giaccherini's opener was added to in second-half stoppage time by the Southampton striker.

While most Azzurri fans were draped in hats and scarves with their traditional tricolore, there was no mistaking Pelle's girlfriend Viktoria Vargas, who arrived at the Stade des Lumieres in Lyon complete with a blow-up doll of her man.

Miss Vargas is known for posting revealing pictures of herself taken around the globe on social media 

The 24-year-old Hungarian swimwear model Viktoria has been dating the £50,000-a-week Southampton striker Pelle for four years and she was keen to show her support on Instagram, with the words 'Forzzzzaaaa ITALIA #forzaazzurri #euro2016' accompanying the photo.

The loved-up pair are often seen cuddling on social media, and Pelle's significant other half was in the stands to watch her boyfriend cap a fine performance as Italy made the perfect start to their Euro 2016 campaign.

While Miss Vargas enjoyed her evening without having to be too far away from her boyfriend, Kevin de Bruyne's other half Michele Lacroix watched the game at home on the telly with the pair's son Mason Milian.

The new-born baby was dressed in Belgium's home shirt with his name across the back, with Miss Lacroix positing the cute snap on her Instagram account with the caption: 'Biggest Fan #7 #daddy.'

De Bruyne was unable to inspire his side to a positive result in the Red Devils' opening group game, but the new format still offers plenty of hope that the side can progress to the knock-out rounds.

Belgium face Republic of Ireland in Bordeaux on Saturday, while Group E rivals Sweden and Italy face one another 24 hours earlier in Toulouse.
