According to the Sun, on the eve of the European League final, fans of Chelsea and Real Betis clashed fiercely in Poland.
On Tuesday, an ugly scene occurred in Wroclaw, where riot police used tear gas to disperse the fighters. According to videos posted on social media, there have been many fierce clashes between fans of the British and Spanish teams on the slate road outside city bars and restaurants.
In one clip, about five young men are seen smashing their chairs and throwing glasses at another group of people hiding under the awning of the building. A large blue flag hung on the window, which read "Only belongs to London", suggesting that this may be a gathering place for Chelsea fans. Riot police rushed over and sprayed the attacker with tear gas. Another clip shows fans of the two teams throwing objects at each other from two different bars, and the sound of glass breaking and angry shouts are constantly coming from the scene. The police here seem to be underprepared, dealing with the chaos without wearing helmets, and they can be seen backing as objects fly across the square.
According to local media reports, opposing fans are stationed in Guinness Bar and nearby Kombinat Bar. In a later video, rows of fully armed police officers can be seen as if they have taken control of the situation. Local police said: "The uniformed police responded immediately after the incident, preventing further escalation of conflict or negative behavior. Fans fled everywhere, and police officers from the criminal department are currently conducting activities to identify them. The number of preventive and operational police forces and their saturation are very large enough to ensure the safety of places where residents and sports fans gather or move."
Currently, an investigation is underway, and the police use surveillance video to identify the main rioters. More than 70,000 fans are expected to pour into the picturesque city of Wroclaw to watch the two teams compete for the championship tomorrow. Fans of London teams hope their team will not be distracted by off-court events, after all, being the first club to win all three European tournaments in one fell swoop.
