Ultras. Parts of the stands at Legia Stadium were empty due to penalties for crowd incidents.

Betis fan Vicente Fernandes, who traveled to Warsaw from Germany, where he lives, reported the incident, which was made known to the Verdiblanco club, in a thread on his ‘X’ account:Some people have finished playing soccer today. @RealBetis was playing in Warsaw. The previous work, like many of his other works, was very gentle. Number of incidents: 0. This time we traveled to the stadium by bus. There were 4 buses to transport all Beticos fans”.

”When the door of the third bus (the one I was on) closed, we started singing like fans do before games. The Warsaw police would not have liked this and sprayed pepper gas at us through the bus window.”.

”The whole journey was excruciating. They couldn’t breathe, couldn’t open their eyes, and didn’t know why it was happening to them. An incredible feeling of anxiety. When we arrived at the stadium, some of us still couldn’t open our eyes and had to be helped off the bus. Betis representatives tried to contact medical institutions, but it was not possible. No one tried to help us. We were mad and full of helplessness towards the police as none of our colleagues were doing anything. I was able to enter the match in the 29th minute, but someone was left out because I had eye problems and allergies in my neck and hands… It was crazy, and it was the police themselves It was. I really don’t know what to think. 10 to the three Real Betis players who were always with us and hugs to my teammates who had a terrible time. I don’t want that kind of soccer…”.
