[Saba Sports News] Just before the UEFA Conference League final, clashes erupted between Chelsea and Real Betis fans, drawing attention from the public. It is reported that British Chelsea fans and Spanish Real Betis fans were in intense confrontation on the cobblestone streets outside bars and restaurants. Both sides took cover behind two different bars, throwing objects at each other. In one video clip, about five young men brandished chairs and threw them at another group hiding under an awning. Riot police quickly arrived at the scene and had to use tear gas to disperse the attackers, barely containing the situation. Police even had to face the chaos without wearing helmets, stepping back as items flew like rain across the square. After the incident occurred, riot police immediately responded to prevent further escalation. Local authorities are now using surveillance footage to identify the main troublemakers involved. The editor believes that football should be a sport promoting unity and spreading joy, yet this type of fan conflict completely goes against the spirit of football. It transforms the pre-match atmosphere from anticipation and excitement to tension and chaos, destroying the harmony of football events.
