NAPLES, Italy : Fighting broke out in Naples on Wednesday ahead of Napoli's Champions League last-16 second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt, as supporters set a police car on fire and threw stones at buses in the city centre.
Footage showed supporters clashing with anti-riot forces and a police car in flames, with objects being tossed towards the police. Overturned tables and chairs lay smashed on the ground as police tried to tame the rioting fans. "These are not fans, they are criminals, thugs. I wonder if they would make the same mess in Germany?," Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini wrote on Instagram, while expressing his"full support" for police on the ground.
