After the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest wrapped on Saturday, with Italy winning this year's event, viewers immediately flocked to social media to share their emotions and - of course - discuss and argue.
The grand final had everyone closely following both the jury and the public vote, but it was impossible to satisfy everyone with the final result, with first place secured by Italian rock band Måneskin.
Second place was taken by France's Barbara Pravi, followed by Switzerland's Gjon's Tears.
Users were also triggered after a few countries were left with no points at all, as Germany, Spain and the Netherlands received zero points from the public, and the United Kingdom, unusually, receiving zeros from both the jury and the viewers.
Hate this song, Russia, Ukraine, Switzerland, Lithunia and so many others are better than this!

Iceland, Lithuania, Switzerland, Malta, France, Ukraine and 20 other countries were better than this sad pice of generic rock. Horrible, worst winner in a very long time,

The UK's failure to receive any points also became a subject for jokes.
United Kingdom 0 points.

Many attacked the results of the jury vote in particular, arguing that "mediocre" songs were chosen.
