The match of the 4th round of the Champions League group stage between Liverpool and the Red Star began with a massive skirmish at the stadium.
Serb fan groups staged a riot and a fight with the police.
Among the probable causes of the conflict are the offensive chants of fans of the “Red Star” addressed to Inter’s midfielder Dzherdan Shakiri, who is a Kosovo Albanian.
Kosovo was previously part of Serbia, and now is a state whose independence Serbia does not recognize. In addition, in Serbia there used to be persecution against the Albanian population..
As a result, the police normalized the situation in the stands and the match passes without incident..
