Charlton defender Chris Gunter critical of UEFA as Wales exit European Championships

Chris Gunter has hit out at UEFA for preventing Wales having serious supporter backing at the European Championships.

Robert Page’s side are out after a 4-0 loss to Denmark on Saturday in their last-16 contest.

Italy and the Danes both enjoyed home advantage against Wales, who also had to play two of their group games in Azerbaijan.

“Every nation had fans wherever they went,” Gunter wrote on Instagram. “[But Wales did not] apart from the 350 who broke government rules and bank accounts to be there.

“You and us deserved more from this joke set-up of a tournament, but who said life was fair.

“Have a cry, but then smile that we were dining at the top table yet again.

“This country is in safe hands with the squad we have believe me, I’d go to the trenches with every member of this team and staff. Suck it up, keep your chin up, we’ll be all right, trust me on that.”

Gunter has won 102 caps for Wales.
