A Sevilla fan hospitalized for the aggression of Roma ultras

The hours before the Europa League final left some scenes of tension in Budapest. What during the morning had been harmony between fans throughout the center of the Hungarian capital led to scenes of tension as game time approached. The hundreds of Sevilla fans who gathered in the fan zone that UEFA had set up around Avenida Egressy, near the Puskas Arena, saw how ultras from Roma sneaked in, throwing flares and causing incidents that killed two supporters, one from Sevilla and another from Roma, in the hospital and many others had to be treated for injuries that were not serious.

The Italian ultras were also accompanied by the radical fans of the Polish Slask Wroclaw, who would have traveled to Budapest seeking revenge for an altercation that occurred in the match between the two teams in the Europa League campaign 13/14. Since then they have had a strong rivalry with the Biris and this group went looking for them in the fan area.

These altercations caused the strong police device surrounding the final to be reinforced. Especially watched were the Italian supporters, who outnumbered the Sevilla fans in the stadium.

However, the Sevilla fans did not see a party that was animated by former players Coque Andújar, hero of the Basel 2016 final, Nico Pareja and Daniel Carriço.. In the middle of the party there was also a memory for Sergio Rico, to whom Sevilla wants to dedicate the title.
