November 28 – Lille say two of their supporters were stabbed when a group of fans were attacked in a bar ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League game at Bologna.
Lille issued a statement on social media condemning “this cowardly and intolerable attack,” which it said happened on Tuesday.
“During the ambush, which is believed to have involved around eighty assailants, two of our supporters sustained stab wounds, among other injuries, and were given medical treatment,” Lille said.
While the Lille fans were gathered to watch the Inter Milan match in an Irish pub, around 80 Bologna supporters assaulted them armed with metal bars and belts, say local police.
One fan was stabbed in the stomach, the other in the face and chest but their lives are not in danger. Both victims are aged between 25 and 30 and were medically assisted.
