The match between Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt in the second leg of the Champions League final was not fiery on the pitch and was one-way, but was on fire in the streets of the Italian city.
Napoli had achieved a historic achievement after reaching the quarter-finals for the first time in its history with a great victory over Eintracht Frankfurt with a clean treble after winning the first leg with two goals without reply.
In the afternoon clashes broke out in the streets of Naples, where police tried to intervene to prevent the escalation of incidents between supporters of the two teams.
Spanish newspaper "Marca" claims that fans of Atalanta (Bergamo in northern Italy and Napoli in the south) joined Eintracht Frankfurt fans, attacking Napoli supporters who are enemies of Atalanta fans.
Photos and videos published by Italian media and international agencies showed the extent of destruction and destruction of public and private property on the streets of Naples.
Ahead of Wednesday's match, it was announced that an 800-strong police operation would monitor Eintracht Frankfurt fans.
Due to violence in the first leg in Germany, the province of Naples banned the sale of tickets to Eintracht Frankfurt fans.
The German club issued a press release condemning the decision, with 2400,<> tickets allocated to them, but German fans are determined to travel.
The part of the visiting team in the stands of the stadium "Diego Armando Maradona" remained closed yesterday.
Despite the ban, hundreds of Frankfurt "ultras" arrived who obtained tickets through third parties, thanks to the Germans' alliance with Atalanta and the entry into the Maradona Stadium as local fans.
