据24直播网11月3日最新消息，曼联在今晚的欧洲冠军联赛关键对决中，已启动紧急措施，严密防范罗马球迷潜入老特拉福德的主场观众区域，力求杜绝历史性的暴力冲突再次发生。
暴力事件在过去的比赛中留下了不愉快的印记。为了杜绝意大利激进球迷利用购买主场区域球票激化矛盾，曼联已立下坚定决心。2023年10月，加拉塔萨雷客场挑战曼联之际，以及去年流浪者队来访时，均因球票误入客队球迷之手而导致激烈冲突。
先前，对于曼联近期赛事门票公开发售可能引发的混乱，外界存在顾虑。然而，俱乐部明确指出，门票仅对那些在欧冠抽签之前便已录入系统资料的球迷开放。此规定同样适用于季票的转售，而所有VIP接待门票在分发之前亦都经历了严格的审查流程。
尽管面临挑战，曼联依旧严阵以待，确保罗马球迷不会混入主场观众群体。一旦发现球迷误入指定区域，将立即予以驱逐。罗马官方所提供的客场球迷门票共计3300张。这些球迷计划在市中心的沙姆布尔斯广场集结，并在警方护航下前往老特拉福德球场。
《曼联内幕》透露，由于意大利足球协会对多数球队客场出行的约束，罗马在本赛季的意甲及欧洲联赛客场赛事中未曾遭遇任何混乱事件。除了与科莫及乌迪内斯的较量之外，罗马仅能携带居住在拉齐奥行政区之外的球迷前往客场。相较之下，这些球迷群体与位于罗马市中心的顽固极端支持者不同，他们更倾向于加入官方球迷组织。
The rivalry between Manchester United and AS Roma traces its roots back to the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match in April 2007. Amidst the clash, English supporters faced a barrage of projectiles hurled by their Italian counterparts, leading to widespread criticism of the Italian riot police for their aggressive response towards the English fans. As a result, several Manchester United supporters were hospitalized, with ten being attacked and stabbed outside the Stadio Olimpico prior to the match. Subsequently, AS Roma was fined 31,000 pounds, double the amount imposed on Manchester United. The Independent Manchester United Supporters Association then initiated a protracted legal action against the Italian police force.
在最新一轮的竞赛中，曼联以一场7比1的压倒性胜利击败了对手，其中鲁尼与卡里克等众多球员均有所贡献。然而，在比赛前的老特拉福德球场周边，球迷之间的纷争仍旧爆发，警方随后拘捕了18名相关人员。在随后的赛季里，弗格森爵士执教的曼联队于冠军征途上再度在四分之一决赛中击败了罗马，两队在此之前的小组赛中亦有过交锋。值得注意的是，在罗马的比赛期间，同样出现了混乱，导致三名球迷不幸遭受刺伤。
在2021年的欧洲联赛半决赛中，两支队伍的对决在空旷的球场上上演，这场赛事因新冠疫情的冲击而未能有观众到场观战。
The spokesperson for the Greater Manchester Police declared, "We anticipate a significant influx of Roma supporters in Manchester today. Our officers are already stationed at the airport, extending a warm welcome to all fans. Our department boasts extensive experience in securing major sporting events and maintains close collaboration with both clubs and their fan bases to ensure a safe environment for everyone to enjoy the match. While we recognize that the vast majority of supporters come to watch peacefully, we have established comprehensive contingency plans and will respond appropriately to any signs of unrest. Police presence is in place both inside and outside Old Trafford Stadium.
