A group of Netherlands supporters attacked a pub which were occupied by England fans ahead of the semifinal of the Euro 2024 on Wednesday.

England and Netherlands are taking on each other in the 2nd semifinal of the Euro. But ahead of the high-voltage clash, both sets of supporters marred the harmony of football into violence in Dortmund.

A group of Netherlands fans attacked a pub which had a lot of England fans in it. The visuals, which have gone viral on social media, show some of the Dutch supporters throwing chairs and tables aimed at English fans. A few of the supporters also got involved in fistfights. It was utter chaos at the pub as the Dutch people vandalized the property.

The situation escalated out of hand and the German police intervened the matter to restore order. A few of the Dutch supporters were arrested for causing trouble and harming the property.

But contrasting to this heated scenario, there was also a tinge of friendship between the two sets of supporters in a different place. The Netherlands fans were seen singing 'Hey Jude' along with England supporters, a song dedicated to English midfielder Jude Bellingham.

Around 100,000 Netherlands fans have reportedly arrived in Dortmund ahead of the semifinal. The two nations will be playing the pivotal encounter at the BVB Stadion and the winners will face Spain in the final of the continental competition.
