Bilbao, Spain (AP) – On Wednesday, before the final of the Europa League in Spain, combined in Spain.

Confrontations took place in the center of Bilbao and in some nearby cities, in which many supporters were exceeded to avoid overpriced accommodations in the guest city.

According to the local officials, more than 50,000 English fans were expected in Bilbao's Basque Country City.

There were no reports of serious injuries in the confrontations that mainly stayed overnight than the fans arrived.

Images that were reproduced by Spanish media showed that the followers collided on the streets of Bilbao, with some throwing tables, garbage containers, bottles and other objects on each other.

There were also reports on confrontations in San Sebastian and Santander, other Basque land towns with English fans, many without tickets for the final.

The UEFA warned the fans this week about buying non -authorized tickets that were unlikely to bring them to the stadium. The clubs each received 15,000 tickets in the event location with 50,000 capacities with a price of only 40 euros ($ 45).

The prices in thousands of euros were required for secondary ticketing.
