Europa League and Conference League: a night of violence across Europe | OneFootball

It was supposed to be a European evening like so many others. Instead, it turned into a showcase of the excesses that football still struggles to contain.

In Alsace, England, and the Netherlands, the stands and surroundings of the stadiums became the scene of disturbing incidents, tarnishing the prestige of the Europa League and the Conference League. Here is a (sad) overview.

Aston Villa - Young Boys

Seats torn out, objects thrown, scuffles... While traveling to Villa Park, Swiss supporters distinguished themselves in the worst possible way. The Bern club condemned these deplorable actions in a statement. 

Strasbourg – Crystal Palace

Surreal scene in Alsace: two groups of Crystal Palace supporters reportedly fought each other. The exact cause of this brawl remains unknown, despite some speculation on social media.

Go Ahead Eagles – Stuttgart

While traveling in the Netherlands, Stuttgart supporters were in the crosshairs of the Dutch police as soon as they got off the bus. The German press is crying scandal.

Once they arrived at the Adelaarshorst stadium, the German supporters’ troubles were far from over...

Feyenoord – Celtic

While traveling to Feyenoord, Celtic Glasgow supporters were reportedly targeted by Dutch individuals inside the stadium.

Nottingham Forest – Malmö

At Nottingham’s City Ground, stewards had to work hard to contain a horde of Swedish supporters.

Clearly, UEFA’s Disciplinary Committee has its work cut out for it this week.
