Ancelotti è ufficialmente il nuovo allenatore del Chelsea ( fans in foto ); lo ha annunciato il sito ufficiale del club londinese, il quale il prossimo anno ritenterà l’ assalto alla “Champions’ League”. A proposito della massima manifestazione continentale, se il bilancio a livello di ordine pubblico è stato pesante ma accettabile per la capitale italiana, altrove le cose sono andate molto peggio. In Nigeria dove, nell’ epoca del calcio globalizzato, sia il Man U che il Barcellona vantano molti tifosi, quattro sostenitori dei catalani sono rimasti uccisi.Anche nella città spagnola si sono verificati gravi scontri nel corso dei festeggiamenti, principalmente fra supporters “blaugrana” e polizia, la quale ha recentemente reso noto il pesante bilancio finale della folle notte: 134 arresti e 153 feriti. Una luce in fondo al tunnel per il Southampton, retrocesso in “League One” dove partirà con dieci punti di penalizzazione per essere caduto in amministrazione controllata. Un consorzio guidato dall’ ex giocatore, amatissimo, Le Tissier starebbe trattando l’ acquisto della società, evitandone il fallimento.

4 Barcelona Fans Killed in Nigeria
New York Times

“While Italian authorities managed to avert any large-scale soccer violence in Rome, where thousands of supporters of Barcelona and Manchester United converged to watch the champions of Spain defeat the champions of England on Wednesday, a fan of the losing side in Nigeria apparently took out his frustrations by plowing his minibus into a crowd celebrating Barcelona’s victory.
Reuters reports that the disappointed Manchester United fan was arrested after he killed four people and injured 10 in the town of Ogbo. A police spokeswoman told the news agency: “The driver had passed the crowd then made a U-turn and ran into them.”Reuters notes that both teams “have large fan bases in Nigeria.” Last summer, when Manchester United played an exhibition game in Abuja, Nigeria, fans from across the country converged on the stadium, and a star player said that support for the club there was “quite unbelievable.”In Italy, strict policing and a ban on alcohol during the match seems to have limited violence to two stabbing incidents ahead of the game. The Guardian reported that one Manchester United fan in Rome said that he was “stabbed in the right thigh and either hit his head as he fell to the ground or was struck in the head by his attackers.”In a separate incident, an American man was apparently beaten and stabbed near the Italian town of Ostia after being mistaken for an English fan. An Italian police source told Reuters: “He was found on the ground, bloody and screaming in English with four people on top hitting and stabbing him with a knife.” Four Italians were arrested for that assault.The killings in Nigeria, far from the stadium in Rome, echoed the murder on Sunday of a Catholic youth worker in Northern Ireland by Protestant soccer fans celebrating a victory by a club they support in Scotland”

ROME (AP) — Police arrested a Barcelona fan after a brawl with Manchester United supporters following the Spanish club’s victory in the Champions League final.
“The 31-year-old Spaniard was detained after police intervened early Thursday to separate two groups of fans in the north of Rome. The man, who was not identified, was drunk and assaulted an officer, police said in a statement.The incident brought to 19 the number of people, including fans of both teams, arrested over two days in scattered violence related to Wednesday’s match.In the most serious incidents, a British fan was stabbed in the thigh early Wednesday and two Greek supporters of the English club were slightly injured when slashed with a paper cutter after the game.Police were still investigating the attacks. In Ostia, a coastal suburb of Rome, four Italians were arrested after stabbing and beating an American man, apparently mistaking him for a United supporter.Following Barcelona’s 2-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico, Rome was filled with the largely peaceful and boisterous celebrations of Spanish fans who frolicked in the Trevi Fountain and filled the city’s historic center with cries of “Ole, ole.”Many of the 30,000 English and 20,000 Spanish fans who flooded Rome for the match were returning home on Thursday morning on flights from the Italian capital’s airports”

“Police in Barcelona made more than 100 arrests on Thursday as victory celebrations in the aftermath of the Champions League Final degenerated into riots.Around 100,000 people spilled onto the streets of the Catalan capital in the aftermath of Barcelona’s 2-0 victory over Manchester United in Rome.But while a carnival atmosphere initially prevailed, the mood turned ugly after midnight when youths began clashing with police around one of the city’s main thoroughfares, Las Ramblas.Youths hurled bottles as they tried to storm through metal barricades keeping a mob back from shops, prompting a surge by baton-wielding riot officers.Terrified passersby caught up in the violence had to cower behind walls as the clashes intensified.In a statement, police said they had arrested 119 people for public order offences in the city and a total of 134 in the wider Catalonia region.A total of 153 people were also injured, said the statement. And while most of the injuries were minor, 23 needed hospital treatment.The statement said that police had issued “repeated warnings” to the rioters.Lampposts, telephone kiosks and bus stops were all badly damaged in the violence.”
