Man Utd and Tottenham fans brawl before Europa League final

Man Utd and Tottenham fans fight fiercely before Europa League final

Up to 70,000 Man Utd and Tottenham fans flooded the streets of Bilbao (Spain) ahead of the Europa League final at San Mames Stadium at 2am tomorrow (May 2, Vietnam time).

This is a game that will decide the seasons of two struggling teams, currently 16th and 17th in the Premier League. Whoever wins will secure the trophy and a place in next year's Champions League, while the loser will regret a disastrous season.

It is also a crucial game for fans, who are eager to see their team lift the trophy. For Tottenham, it will be their first in 17 years, while Man Utd are eager to win their first trophy under Ruben Amorim.

However, things took a turn for the worse before the match, when a video shared on social media X showed two groups of Man Utd and Tottenham fans fighting fiercely in the streets and creating extremely chaotic scenes in the city of Bilbao.

Witnesses said the fight broke out when two groups of fans from both teams started shouting and hurling abuse. It quickly turned into a full-blown brawl, with both Man Utd and Spurs fans grabbing whatever they could to throw at each other.

One fan overturned a table on the street and used it as a weapon against the other group. Drinks and trash were also thrown, creating a chaotic scene that posed a serious danger to businesses on both sides of the street and passersby.

Several local patrol officers rushed to the scene after receiving reports of the fight and quickly restored order. No arrests were made, but an ambulance was dispatched to the scene to assist the injured in the fight.

Man Utd and Tottenham have each been allocated 15,000 tickets for the final at San Mames, which has a capacity of around 53,000 fans. That means around 23,000 tickets will be available on the open market. Prices on the black market have skyrocketed, with tickets being offered for up to £10,000 (equivalent to 348 million VND) despite the original price ranging from £55 to £204.
