The prefecture is less nuanced than the club on the smooth running, in the end, of this meeting despite the incursion of several hundred Scottish supporters into the middle of the Nice Ray and Garibaldi stands.
Its secretary general Benoît Huber evokes a good evening “hard”despite the important system put in place to channel visitors. Next to 260 police officers mobilized who had to intervene in order to repel manu militari “the attacks of 100 to 200 ultras from Nice who left the popular south to try to fight it out” with Scottish intruders Ray and Garibaldi in the stands.
Tear gas and 9 minor injuries
“It wasn't visible because it happened in the ambulatory but it was necessary use force and tear gasinsists the state representative. There were 9 minor injuries including one person taken to hospital with a broken hand.”
How to avoid such situations in the future? For the secretary general of the prefecture “UEFA must sanction the club for the behavior of its supporters. In a stadium we come to watch a match not to fight. Here it was clearly the people of Nice who went into contact to fight it out. And it was the 260 police officers who had been mobilized who prevented them from doing so. We will try to identify as many protagonists as possible so that they can be sanctioned administratively, by stadium bans, or even judicially.”.
