Violence between Chelsea and Real Betis supporters escalated in Wroclaw, prompting police intervention with tear gas. Fans clashed in the streets, leading to injuries and arrests. The police detained four Spanish supporters tied to the brawls and initiated identification processes for additional offenders. Local reports described the aftermath as resembling a battlefield, with extensive cleaning efforts underway in the city's market square. Authorities assure residents of their capacity to maintain order amid the large influx of fans for the UEFA Conference League final.
The fans scattered in different directions and the activities aimed at identifying them are still underway, conducted by the police officers of the criminal division.
The uniformed officers reacted immediately after the incident, which prevented further escalation of the conflict and negative behaviour.
