Violent clashes have broken out in Wroclaw this evening between Chelsea and Real Betis fans ahead of the Europa Conference League final.
Tens of thousands of rival fans have descended on the Polish city ahead of tonight's crunch match at the Wrocu0142aw Stadium, with tensions having arisen between the two opposing teams just hours before kick off.
Scenes turned sour in the city centre following violent exchanges between 'several hundred' people just after 5pm today, leading to 28 arrests.
Cops were forced to use a water cannon on some of the Chelsea supporters while riot officers also formed a wall separating both sets of fans after bottles were thrown at one another from the bars.
