The Wembley Stadium hosted the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy on July 11. As Italy won its second European championship, coming a long way following their disqualification in the 2018 World Cup, England fans were silenced and stunned after their side had the momentum for the entire first half and also acquired a lead during the penalties. Unable to digest the loss, some English fans attacked Italian fans, fighting with cops and behaved like hooligans on the streets of London. The chaos began before the match as fans were seen forcing their way past security before the kick-off. Post the match, London’s Leicester Square was left littered and vandalised by English fans. Several photos of Italian fans being attacked with racial slurs and physical assault have also gone viral. Have a look the spine-chilling pictures..
