England Fans Create Ruckus, Attack Italians, Racially Abuse Them After Losing The Euro 2020 Final to Italy
It was mayhem outside the iconic Wembley Stadium on Sunday after England lost to Italy in the EURO 2020 final via penalties. The English supporters could not digest the loss and they unnecessarily attacked the Italian fans outside the stadium. The English fans not only hit their Italian counterparts but there was a lot of racial abuse and stomping of the Italian national flag as well.

As attempts to set the cloth alight failed, another fan could be seen spitting on the Italian flag whilst another stepped on it repeatedly.

Here is the footage of what transpired:







The English supporters had lined up outside Wembley hoping that their side would win and there would be a big party, but since that did not happen - they were agitated.

Earlier, England got off to a dream start when Luke Shaw found the back of the net in the second minute of the game. Italy, who dominated ball possession, found the equaliser in the 67th-minute when Leonardo Bonucci scored.

But in the penalties, Italy was easily the better team as England missed three and there was no coming back from there. Apart from the Wembley violence, even England's own players who missed penalty kicks against Italy in the Euro 2020 final were subjected to racial abuse online. After the Italy vs England match, English Football Association issued a statement condemning the language used against the players.

Notably, ugly scenes had broken out in London even before the match when hundreds of fans without tickets tried to enter the Wembley Stadium and attempted to battle with stewards and police to go past the lines.
