PSV Eindhoven MD claims Spanish reporters 'tried to bribe fans to riot' during Atlético match
26/11/2016
A DUTCH football club has denounced Spanish reporters for 'paying fans to riot' so they could film them.
Toon Gerbrands, managing director of PSV Eindhoven, says some of its supporters were offered money to stage brawls when the club played an away match against Atlético Madrid FC as part of the Champions' League.
Gerbrands, according to local newspaper Eindhoven Dagblad, received a complaint from the chairman of the PSV fan club.
“We've examined the case and we assume it is true,” Gerbrands reported.
During the quarter-finals of last season's Champions' League when PSV Eindhoven also played Atlético in the Spanish capital, fans hurled coins at beggars in the Plaza Mayor and were shown on TV.
This time around, no riots broke out despite alleged bribes from Spanish reporters, even though PSV Eindhoven lost 2-0 to Atlético.
