According to The Daily Mail, Saka was the most targeted player for online abuse during the Euros, followed by his England teammate Bellingham. Akanji and Lukaku were also heavily targeted. England, Netherlands, Belgium, and France were the four teams most affected.
According to UEFA data, England international Saka, who plays for Arsenal, was the most targeted player for online abuse during the entire Euros. The reason was that England lost the final of the last Euros to Italy, and Saka missed a penalty kick, making him the “focus” of some extreme fans, which lasted until this tournament.
Saka’s England teammate Bellingham followed him, closely followed by Swiss defender Akanji, who plays for Manchester City, which came as a surprise. Belgium international Lukaku, who missed several good opportunities during the Euros, ranked fourth in the most severely targeted for online abuse.
Additionally, Germany international Kroos was the most mocked player online, while France international Mbappé, Portugal international Félix and Antônio Silva, England international Kane, and Belgium international Lukaku were also among those who were mocked a lot.
The report also showed that England, Netherlands, Belgium, and France were the four teams most affected by online violence. It is worth noting that Spain, the eventual champion, did not suffer much from online abuse in comparison.
