The Andalusian capital woke up this Saturday to an image of coexistence and sportsmanship, a stark contrast to the tension experienced the previous night. The area around Las Setas served as the meeting point for supporters of both teams, who gathered in a festive and relaxed atmosphere, marked by chants, joint photographs, and mutual respect.
This climate of camaraderie gains special significance after the incidents reported on Friday, when the National Police intervened to prevent clashes between radical groups. Police action intercepted a group of violent fans in Plaza de San Antonio, preventing a potential confrontation with other groups in the Alameda area.
Despite the historical animosity between certain ultra sectors of both fan bases, what happened in Seville demonstrates that the majority of supporters advocate for healthy rivalry. Families, groups of friends, and fan clubs shared the pre-match festivities, sending a clear message of unity and sportsmanship.
The event was supported by an extensive security operation, considering the presence of known ultra groups. Furthermore, high temperatures, expected to reach 34 degrees Celsius, add an additional factor to the day. With over 55,000 fans in the streets of Seville, many without tickets for the match at La Cartuja, the brotherhood at Las Setas stands out as one of the most significant moments leading up to the game, reaffirming that football is, above all, a celebration.
