Who won Eurovision 2021? Italy named this year's champions
We have a winner!
Italy's Måneskin have been named the winners of Eurovision 2021 after a hard-fought battle on the scoreboard, which you can check out in our full breakdown of the Eurovision 2021 results.
Italy last won the Eurovision Song Contest back in 1990. Måneskin were a fan favourite from the moment they sauntered onto the stage but it looked like they would be beaten to the top spot by Switzerland at one point.
It was not to be for Gjon’s Tears, however, as the singer finished in third place with 432 points. France came in second with 499, with Italy finishing on a strong 524.
Twenty-six countries took the Eurovision 2021 stage to provide us with a final full of memorable, sparkly and – in true Eurovision style – bizarre moments, and now we know where next year's competition will be held.
It was an especially emotional night following Eurovision 2020's cancellation due to the pandemic, with Iceland not being able to perform live due to a member of Daði og Gagnamagnið testing positive for the virus.

Måneskin joins the long list of victors since the beloved talent show began in 1956, including 2019's champion Duncan Lawrence. The Dutch singer-songwriter wowed viewers with the song Arcade, though he was not able to join the event tonight due to testing positive for coronavirus.
Måneskin caused quite the stir on social media following their leather-clad performance, which immediately and unsurprisingly made them fan favourites.
Congrats, Italy! Though perhaps a Bravo is more apt.
