Government representative Felisa Panadero confirmed the group of 10-12 Juventini were “quietly dining” in a bar at 23.00 last night in the Reyes Catolicos area when around 40-50 men wearing ski masks and hoods broke in shouting Sevilla slogans.
The investigation has so far found that the Italian fans were “peaceful” and “tried to get away from the situation after the attackers threw furniture.”
Police arrived within three minutes, but the group had already run off, not before stabbing at least one supporter with a broken bottle.
Agents identified “some people who may be related to the events under investigation and soon there will be arrests with the full weight of the law” used against them.
There is one Juventus fan who suffered serious injuries to his chest and leg, undergoing surgery.
“All Sevillanos are outraged because Seville is a charming, friendly city and we will not allow people who are quietly having dinner to be attacked in an intolerable situation like this.
“It was unexpected, but apparently they came prepared, as they arrived in 40 or 50 with bricks, sticks and other weapons.”
Security has been stepped up outside the stadium ahead of tonight’s Champions League match, which kicks off at 19.45 GMT.
