England and Germany fans clash in violent scenes in Dusseldorf after Three Lions supporters mocked the hosts for crashing out of the tournament following quarter-final defeat by Spain

Fighting broke out tonight between England and Germany fans after the home nation was knocked out of Euro 2024.

Our exclusive video shows England fans taunting German fans, before fists flew as police sealed off both sides of the street where fans had been drinking all day in Alstadt.

One witness said: ‘The England fans were taunting the Germans about them losing to Spain and then they started singing songs like ‘have you ever seen the Germans win a war?’

‘There were about 20 English men who got involved in confronting a group of Germans and then a couple got involved in a punch up.’

Glasses were used as missiles and beer was thrown over the Germans, as riot police stopped people from entering the area around a bar called Steak-Haus.

There were further sporadic outbreaks of violence involving England fans. Beer was thrown at German supporters which led to further fights close to the Mississippi Bar.

Some England fans were seen inhaling from black balloons, while the centre of Alstadt remained tense with riot police charging in through the crowds as fighting broke out in various spots.
