Chelsea
have appealed for supporters to get in contact with information after claims
some were allegedly hurt by police and security using batons outside the Nou
Camp before their Champions League defeat to Barcelona.
Antonio Conte's side were knocked out 4-1 on aggregate at the last-16 stage
of the competition after two goals from Lionel Messi helped Barca cruise to
a 3-0 victory on the night.
Video footage has emerged from after the game but fans have told Sky Sports
News that aggressive tactics were also used before the match and some missed
the start of the game, with Chelsea keen to hear from any supporters
affected.
"The club has been made aware of some issues experienced by our supporters
accessing the stadium tonight," Chelsea posted on their official Twitter
feed on Wednesday.
"A spokesman said: 'We are aware of reports of incidents outside the ground
before the game where a number of Chelsea fans were hurt.
"'We ask that our supporters contact us with accounts of their experiences
of this evening's arrival at the stadium so that we can take this up
properly with the authorities.'"
