RC Celta de Vigo has issued an urgent official statement following the unfortunate incidents that occurred last night on the streets of the city.
A massive brawl between ultras from RC Celta and Olympique de Lyon, which occurred last night in the city center, has resulted in at least three people being injured – two of whom have been hospitalized – and significant material damage to local businesses.
According to police sources, a group of about fifty masked men armed with sticks and pipes broke into the doors of one of the venues in the city center to attack about thirty French fans who, thanks to the quick intervention of the doormen, managed to take refuge inside.
