Netflix film relives the Wembley riots of the 2020 Euro final
The Euro's final in July 2021 was for the 2020 event but due to the Covid lockdown was pushed back a year.
Taking place after many months of restrictions, the Wembley event was one of the first of its kind that saw tens of thousands of people gathered in one spot for months.
England fans had travelled from all over the nation with tickets to the match and many more without tickets hoping to enjoy celebrations.
However, as the Netflix film, Attack on Wembley shares, the day was overtaken with "scenes of drunkenness and drug-taking" as well as many ticketless fans.
