Champions League
Madrid on alert over Chelsea and Manchester City supporters
The city of Madrid is on a state of alert, according to Marca, as the aim is to avoid incidents between Chelsea and Manchester City fans who will be in town for the games against Real and Atletico respectively.
Madrid moves to the rhythm of the Champions League. On Tuesday (April 12, 10:00 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 2HD, LIVE Sportish) Real will welcome Chelsea, while Atletico will welcome Manchester City (April 13, 10:00 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 2HD, MEGA, LIVE Sportish) to the quarter-finals of the European club competition.
These two games sent the Spanish capital into an uproar. According to Marca, Madrid are on alert. The goal is to have no incidents between the fans of the two English teams that will be in town.
In fact, there is particular concern for Chelsea fans who will be traveling to Madrid in an unorganized manner, making it difficult for the police to stop them. The Spanish authorities want to avoid the events in Seville, when West Ham and Eintracht fans met in the Andalusian city, as a result of which episodes erupted.
