Euro 2020 blasted as 'joke set-up of a tournament' as Wales veteran vows 'we'll be back'

The defender expressed his frustration after his side were forced to cross the continent to play their games - while their fans were unable to travel

Wales defender Chris Gunter has blasted the Euro 2020 organisers following his country’s exit from the tournament, saying the set up of the competition was a “joke”.

Robert Page’s side were dumped out at the last-16 stage on Saturday after a 4-0 thrashing by Denmark in Amsterdam, having already played two of their three group games 2,600 miles away in Baku and the third in Rome.

Not only have Wales clocked up the air miles, Covid restrictions meant their fans were unable to travel in great number to any of their games – much to Gunter’s frustration.
