METRO Newspaper

METRO newspaper, headline 'Up Your Game'. The cover features a picture of Boris Johnson and the Marcus Rashford mural wall in Withington, showing a protest in front of the mural which was vandalized with a racist slogan in the after-math of the final. Artist, Akse who created the mural removed the vandalism and repaired the mural. The Boris Johnson reference articulates his demand to social media giants to put more efficient restrictions in place to combat online abuse, after England players Saka, Rashford and Sancho received racist abuse after the Euro 2020 final, held in 2021 following the restrictions of the COVID pandemic.
