It’s already been a hectic time in the areas outside the stadium, as 5,000 Rijeka fans have swarmed Milan. The Croatian team is committed this evening to play against Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium for the Europa League group. Fans have invaded Piazza Duomo, where they gathered to march to San Siro. They have brought firecrackers and flares into the center of Milan, in addition to singing many choruses and a curious flag with Pjanic, Juve midfielder present for a sponsored event (photo with the Rijeka scarf and some jokes).

SEVEN ARRESTS - Before the match, seven Croatian supporters were arrested for their conduct, launching objects and creating disorder in the parking area reserved for guest supporters in the San Siro Zone.

DEVASTATION - Barrels and firecrackers have been thrown continuously, and police have been deployed to secure them. The Croats are about 5,000 strong and in their march to the stadium have devastated some public transport stops.
