VIDEO: Sevilla and Manchester City fans fight in public again

Matching what happened in their first Champions League game against each other two weeks ago in Manchester, Sevilla and Manchester City fans fought again before their Champions League game today in Seville, Spain.

Two weeks ago, Manchester City fans were possibly involved in a chair throwing fight outside of a Manchester restaurant before the Manchester City/Sevilla UEFA Champions League game. There are also reports that it could have been started by fans of Polish team Slask Wroclaw, who provided a payback from an attack by Sevilla fans two years ago in the UEFA Europa League.

Now, this tornado of hooliganism has sucked in Manchester City as Sevilla fans reportedly targeted visiting fans as they were in Seville for today’s Sevilla/Manchester City game. This fight took place outside a bar last night and glasses and chairs were thrown in the streets of Seville.

To be fair, behavior like this in Europe has gone down drastically compared to 30 years ago, but that doesn’t mean it never happens. Will UEFA get tough about this like they did 30 years ago when people were getting killed over things like this or will they just sweep it under the rug like they have been doing recently?
