My brother was there for the game. He said it sucked. They wouldn't let them organize in one stop to watch the game. They ended up watching the game in one area where about 2,000 ManU fans had set up a big screen. He said there was too much violence other times when they set it up in a square for everyone to watch.

No no you're right. The game of football is lacking "fans" who sit in their armchairs watching it live,sorry watching REPEATS of live games.We need to get those stadiums empty,don't pay your money and make the effort,don't give the teams the revenue to survive,stay in your armchair watching repeats and then after the repeat go on a forum and talk ****.
This is definitely the future,I am ripping up my season ticket as I type,I have had an epiphany.Thank you so much embowafa.
Barcelona are a fantastic,honourable club with a history to match but turds like you give them a bad name.

I guess I read the headline wrong. Here is what I could find.

"Security officials reported scattered episodes of violence, including two stabbings hours before the match. By Thursday, as most of the fans were returning home, 24 people had been arrested, Rome police said.

"Four Italian fans attacked an American man in Ostia, on the coast near Rome, apparently mistaking him for a United fan. In the other case, a United fan was knifed near his hotel in the Vatican area. Both men were hospitalized."

This is what a Champions League Final looks like:

I would rather go to 10 finals and lose them all than be a plastic wannabee.
