Eintracht Frankfurt fans clash with police despite ban from Napoli game

Eintracht Frankfurt fans clashed with police before the German club’s Champions League last-16 second leg against Napoli.

Footage was circulated on social media of trouble in Naples before Wednesday evening’s game at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, where supporters from Frankfurt had been banned from attending.

Videos showed officers wearing riot gear responding to missiles, including flares, being hurled by individuals among a crowd estimated at several hundred people.

Reports from local media suggested Napoli’s ultras had also been involved in the violence, during which several cars were said to have been set on fire.
