November 5 – Dinamo Zagreb fans have been barred by the French Government from attending the Champions League group game against Paris St Germain tomorrow.
French Interior Minister Manuel Valls, who issued said ban, said he wanted “to avoid any serious security risks to people and property” since there was a real chance of “serious incidents occurring should fans from both sides come across each other”.
He added that he had been informed by Croatian authorities that 150 to 200 violent supporters from a gang called the “Blue Bad Boys” would be travelling without tickets.
The decision comes after PSG did not provide club travel for its supporters for the corresponding fixture in Zagreb two weeks ago after consultations with UEFA.
Border police ended up stopping 80 fans from crossing into Croatia from Slovenia with cars they had rented from Italy.
