WATCH: England fans clash with Germans after Germany crash out of Euro 2024, video of fight emerges
A set of England fans clashed with Germany fans after the Euro 2024 hosts were knocked out of the continental competition. Die Mannschaft suffered a 2-1 loss to Spain in the quarter-finals of the European Championship on Friday (July 5).
It was a back-and-forth game in Stuttgart as Dani Olmo gave Spain the lead in the 51st minute. Florian Wirtz saved Julian Nagelsmann's side by the skin, scoring in the 89th minute to equalize. Mikel Merino, meanwhile, scored the winner in the 119th minute to secure the win for Spain.
A video has now emerged on social media showing England fans taking the mick out of Germany fans after the loss to Spain. The incident took place in Dusseldorf, as per The Guardian. The two parties even came to blows, with English fans being particularly aggressive against the Germans in Germany.
Checkout the clip below:
While Germany's Euro 2024 run came to an agonizing end, England are still alive in the competition. The Three Lions will play Switzerland in the quarter-finals on Saturday, July 6.
England fans causing beer shortage during their Euro 2024 struggle in Germany
Several pub owners in Germany have been left stunned at the rate England fans are consuming beer during Euro 2024. A few pub owners have revealed that they are left with nothing, as a result of high demand.
Peter Klinkhammer, owner of the pub Da Spiegel, said on the matter (via Metro):
"Everyone had problems getting enough beers. Waiters were seen running with barrows to ask for supplies from neighboring pubs- mostly in vain."
English fans are certainly enjoying themselves to the fullest. While their team have reached the last eight of the competition, they haven't been on the most soothing run so far.
The Three Lions have mostly scraped past opponents and were also saved by the skin in the Round-of-16 clash against Slovakia, which they won 2-1 in extra time. Against a confident Switzerland side, who beat Italy 2-0 in the last round, Gareth Southgate's team can't afford any lapse.
