British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has condemned racist comments about England football players.

The teams of England and Italy clashed yesterday in the Euro football final amid great anticipation. In a thrilling match, Italy won 3–2 on penalties.

Three England players, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Fukuoka Saga, missed a chance to score during a penalty shootout. Following this, some fans posted racist comments on social media criticizing the players.

Condemning this, Boris Johnson said that players should be celebrated as heroes and not racist comments on social media. "Those who make racist remarks should be ashamed," he said.
