Robert Lewandowski urged the Polish supporters to show some respect after they booed the England team for taking the knee ahead of kick-off.

It’s become standard practice for the England National Team and Premier League football, players taking the knee as a gesture of unification against all forms of racism and discrimination.

Unfortunately, some of our European counterparts are still living in the stone age. We saw it in Hungary and we’ve seen it again in Eastern Europe tonight against Poland.

As the England players took the knee before kick-off, the Polish fans in attendance could be heard booing. Captain Robert Lewandowski had a message for the boo-boys.
