In Paris, Moroccan and French fans met the police on the Champs Elysées, who also used tear gas in the clashes. First, Moroccan supporters flocked to the Parisian boulevard after their team’s victory, followed by fans of the Blues after France’s victory.
TV footage showed football fans smashing windows and getting into arguments with the police. Some fires were also blazing on Avenue de Friedland near the Champs Elysées.
60 arrests in Brussels
As with the previous victories of the Moroccan team, there were again riots in Brussels. After Morocco entered the semi-finals, the police in Brussels arrested 60 people. As the Belgian news agency Belga reported on Sunday night, citing a police spokeswoman, revelers used massive amounts of pyrotechnics after the 1-0 win over Portugal. Small groups threw objects at the police officers. At first, the celebrations began peacefully, but then the mood changed, Belga reported.

Knife attack in Milan
During street celebrations in Milan after Morocco’s victory, a fan was stabbed and stabbed in the neck by an unknown man with a knife or other sharp object. He was taken to a hospital. According to the newspaper “La Repubblica”, his condition worsened during the night and he had to have an operation. According to a first reconstruction, the victim of the attack accidentally clashed with another man when he actually wanted to settle an argument. The stranger then suddenly attacked on Corso Buenos Aires – a popular shopping street in the northern Italian metropolis. The perpetrator was then able to escape.
Around half a million Moroccans live in Italy, and after the success of the “Lions of Atlas” at the World Cup in Qatar, thousands of fans took to the streets in a number of cities. Incidents have already occurred, for example when several Italian right-wing extremists attacked the celebrating supporters in Verona last week.
