It was also heard that ID checks in front of the stadium led to the empty ranks. After the clashes, the police only wanted to let the supporters enter after an ID check. The Zurich fans would have refused.
On Friday, the Swiss champion announced that he intends to submit a letter of protest to Uefa. The reason is the “unacceptable treatment of FCZ fans and officials when entering the stadium for yesterday’s fourth group game”.
