Wroclaw, the third city in Poland (673,000 inhabitants), in the southwest of the country, certainly did not expect that. On the eve of the final of the league conference between Real Betis and Chelsea (kick-off at 9 p.m. on Wednesday), Spanish and English supporters had already faced themselves in the city center, near a market, before the intervention of the police.

On the final day, the authorities did not have the good idea to separate the two contingents. As shown in a video of
The Sunthis again overflowed between Andalusian supporters and those from London in the same street lined with restaurants and bars, despite the rain falling on the Polish city.

Many bottles and chairs have stolen and some smoke bombs were launched by the two camps (Blues and Greens, therefore), under the helpless gaze of some representatives of the police. Casted police officers intervened after two minutes of urban chaos, the last disruptors being pushed back using tear gas.

Police have more secured the surroundings of the Wroclaw stadium. No incident is to be deplored before this second European final between Chelsea by Cole Palmer and Real Betis d'Isco.
