England and Germany fans clash in Düsseldorf after hosts’ Euro 2024 exit

  • Small groups of fans scuffle outside bar in German city
  • Germany were eliminated by Spain in quarter-finals

England and Germany fans were involved in clashes in Düsseldorf on Friday night, according to reports.

Video footage obtained by the Daily Mail shows a group of England fans outside a bar in the city, taunting nearby Germany supporters about their side’s exit and singing “Germans going home”.

A brief scuffle then broke out between a handful of people, who aimed punches and kicks at each other, with some objects thrown before the Germany fans appeared to move away.
