Sevilla’s turbulent season hit a boiling point on Saturday night as furious fans stormed the club’s training complex following a 3-2 defeat to Celta Vigo that leaves the seven-time Europa League winners hovering just above the LaLiga relegation zone.
The loss which is Sevilla’s 15th of the campaign sparked an eruption of anger, with supporters tearing down an access gate and attempting to confront players upon their return from Galicia.
The team, now sitting 16th with just three matches left, is only two spots clear of the drop.
Hundreds of fans gathered outside the training facility in a volatile demonstration, prompting a swift response from both police and club security to prevent a full-scale breach. Local reports suggest the squad will remain on-site overnight for their safety.
Tensions are at a breaking point for a club that just two years ago was competing in the Champions League.
Sevilla are expected to return to training on Sunday ahead of Tuesday’s must-win clash at home to Las Palmas.
