Chaos at Stamford Bridge as Djurgarden fans jump over barriers and clash in away end against Chelsea
CHAOS ensued moments before Chelsea’s Europa Conference League clash with Djurgardens IF as fans of the Swedish club in the home end scaled the barriers to join their fellow travelling supporters.
Scores of Djurgarden fans made the trip from Sweden for the second leg of their semi-final tie at Stamford Bridge.
Some desperate fans of the Swedish team had to make do with tickets in the home end.
And scores of them stunningly leapt over the barriers between themselves and their fellow supporters after discovering the club seemingly hadn’t sold its entire allocation.
Fans could be seen ignoring stewards’ warnings and scaling the barriers to sit in the away end.
Footage of Djugardens fans storming the away end went viral.
One viewer said: “This is actually jokes.”
Another said: “The fact they somehow managed to get home tickets for a European semi-final is very embarrassing.”
And another said: ” I don’t think this is allowed. They should be sitting in their allocated seats in the away end.”
One remarked: “Eject them.”
Djurgardens travelled to Stamford Bridge with an absolute mountain to climb following a 4-1 defeat in the first leg last Thursday.
And the tie was put beyond them in the 38th minute when Kieran Dewsbury-Hall struck to put the west Londoners into a 5-1 aggregate lead.
The Blues will play the winner of the other semi-final tie between Fiorentina and Real Betis on May 28.
