What started as a lively build-up to the Europa League final turned ugly on the streets of San Sebastian as rival Manchester United and Tottenham fans clashed in a violent street fight.
While the majority of the estimated 70,000 fans in Bilbao enjoyed the sun and beer-filled celebrations, tensions spilled over in a nearby city on Monday night.
Disturbing footage shared online shows groups of supporters trading punches and launching bottles, bins, and even furniture during a chaotic confrontation on Fermín Calbetón Street.
Locals called the police around 9:20 pm after witnessing the violent scenes. Witnesses say the trouble began when fans from both clubs exchanged insults, which quickly escalated into physical violence.
One supporter was seen flipping a terrace table and using it as a weapon. Others grabbed whatever was in reach, turning the street into a battlefield that endangered nearby businesses and pedestrians.
Police patrols arrived swiftly and brought the situation under control. While several people were treated by medical staff at the scene, no one required hospitalisation, and no arrests have been confirmed.
The incident adds a sour note to what has otherwise been a festive atmosphere in the Basque region ahead of the final on Wednesday, May 21, 2025.
