Italian fans took to Twitter to lash out at England fans for spitting on their flag and trying to set it on fire. Images emerged showing a group of English fans hours before the kickoff of Euro2020 trying to burn the Italian flag, with a member of the group shouting “F **** ng burn it!” As attempts to light the fabric failed, another fan could be seen spitting on the Italian flag as another repeatedly stepped on it.

Italian fans were raging after the video was released, with one writing on Twitter: “What about those English fans who started spitting and stomping on the Italian flag?

“I’m disgusted, tell me the meaning of doing such a thing.”

Another wrote: “I see the worst on TV: naked guys, ‘fans’ going through security gates into Wembley, the Italian flag trampled, vandalism and brawls.

“I am disgusted. This is not to applaud.”

An Italian supporter said: “Brits, welcome to the Italian blacklist along with the French and the Germans.

“They throw firecrackers, boo the hymns of their opponents, crush our flag with their feet. Disrespectful, you are beasts not men.”

And one of them said, “Spitting on your opponent’s flag … what’s your fucking problem ?!

Another added: “I saw a video where the British walk on the Italian flag. The English take advantage of your gray skies and swim in the English Channel, and dare not take a vacation in Italy.
