Regrettably, incidents occurred following a recent football match involving law enforcement and English supporters in the visitor park. Videos relayed on social media showed a CRS intervention, aimed at managing a tense situation. The park was home to about 2,800 Manchester United fans, and a containment measure had been put in place to avoid contact and potential confrontations with OL fans leaving the stadium. This preventive provision was intended to ensure the safety of all participants and minimize the risk of incidents.

The situation became worse when some British supporters tried to free themselves from the imposed confinement, seeking to leave the park despite the instructions given. In an effort to maintain order and prevent a breakdown of the police system, the police used tear gas. It should be noted that a message, broadcast in English to Manchester United supporters, urged them to stay in the park, stressing the need to comply with safety instructions.

This event generated strong reactions and concerns about safety management at international sporting events. Images broadcast on social media, including a tweet expressing the ambiguity of the situation (“Do we go out or lock up? You choose”), testify to the confusion and frustration felt by some supporters. An investigation may be conducted in order to assess the exact circumstances of the intervention and identify measures to be taken to avoid such incidents in the future.
