England fans have been filmed chanting “F*** the Pope” and were involved in minor skirmishes in Milan ahead of their UEFA Nations League clash with Italy.
Italian Police took a softly approach towards the English supporters, with barely an officer in sight in the popular Navigli canal district. There were no major incidents involving the fans but they constantly sang “F*** the Pope and the IRA” throughout the evening.
Other chants such as “Ten German Bombers” and “We hate Celtic” - believed to refer to the behaviour of fans of the Glasgow club following the death of the Queen - were also heard.
