The Final: Attack on Wembley is a Netflix documentary that details how the England football team’s first major international cup final in decades was derailed by violent fans.
The film launches a month before the 2024 Euros in France and shows how in July 2021, the England men’s football team reached their first big final since the historic World Cup win at Wembley in 1966. Just like back in 66, the entire country was longing for Gareth Southgate’s squad to win the European Championship final against Italy at Wembley Stadium. But what started out as a day full of excitement and anticipation soon led to mayhem, with violent scenes, ticketless fans storming the stadium and drunken and drug-fuelled carnage. Soon, the nation was left reeling, disappointed in both the result — a dramatic loss on penalties — and the shocking behaviour of the team’s so-called fans.
