Chelsea Fans Throw Bottles At Police Amid "Roman Abramovich" Chants In Lille

A group of Chelsea fans were involved in ugly scenes in Lille ahead of Wednesday's Champions League last 16 second leg.

Videos of clashes between Chelsea followers and French law enforcement went viral on social media.

Footage showed bottles being thrown by Chelsea fans at local police.

The police, who were wearing full riot gear, used their batons and tear gas.

Footage obtained by the Daily Mail also showed a large group of fans chanting Roman Abramovich's name while bottles were thrown.

Multiple videos of Chelsea fans picking up litter were later shared online.

Wednesday's game against Lille could be the last Champions League away match Chelsea fans are allowed to attend this season.

The club is currently operating under a special license granted by the UK government.

The license was issued after the government sanctioned Chelsea owner Abramovich for his alleged links to Vladimir Putin, who ordered the Russian army to invade Ukraine last month.

One of the conditions of Chelsea's current license is that the club cannot sell any tickets or merchandize.

Chelsea beat Lille 2-1 in Wednesday's second leg to secure a 4-1 win on aggregate.
