Italy won the title after a 3-2 victory over England in the final of the mythical Wembley Stadium in the British capital. Prior to that, both teams finished 1: 1 in regular time, and in overtime they failed to score.
Angry fans of the owners began to turn over garbage cans in central London. According to TASS, several cars were damaged.
The London police said that as of 2:00 am BST, 49 arrests had been made at the stadium amid pre-match unrest.
It is also reported that 19 officers “were injured when confronted with an unstable crowd.”
“A small number of people” managed to get to Wembley without a ticket, London police said, citing AFP.
In a video posted on social media, a group of men beat and pushed other people in the corridors of the stadium.
