Around 300 Antwerp fans caused disturbances in downtown Porto this Monday night, before the Champions League game taking place today at FC Porto’s home ground, a PSP source told Lusa.
A source from the PSP Porto Metropolitan Command said that the authorities are monitoring the situation to find out what happened.
The disturbances occurred in the riverside area, where the Belgian club’s fans, around 300, gathered, according to the same source. So far, the PSP has not said what damage was caused or whether arrests were made.
The PSP Metropolitan Command of Porto also said that it has the device on site to monitor the Belgian fans, a situation that will continue throughout the night and until the fourth round of the Champions League.
