A spokesman for Chelsea club said, "We are aware of reports of incidents outside the ground before the game where a number of Chelsea fans were hurt… We ask that our supporters contact us with accounts of their experiences of this evening’s arrival at the stadium so that we can take this up properly with the authorities."

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Chelsea fans have been treated like animals getting into the Camp Nou tonight. Delayed so we missed kick off and hit with batons when we did. Crazy/scary scenes. This has to be sorted out. Away fans don’t have one problem when they come to England. Not one.</p>— Olivia Buzaglo (@OliviaBuzaglo) <a href="https://twitter.com/OliviaBuzaglo/status/974015622991548421?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 14, 2018</a></blockquote>

People pushed to the floor and as I turned around all I saw was Spanish police randomly pushing and hitting people. Carnage afterwards.
