Royal Society.
Oyarzábal He addresses UEFA directly, those responsible for what happened: “I think it is important that UEFA did not take measures when I think they should have been taken . On the bench we started to see that people in the corner of the family stand were starting to raise their arms and run, and we saw above that they had broken the window and were sneaking around to throw things underneath. Everyone was aware of what was happening, we told the field delegate to speak to the presidency to stop the game, but “No one did anything.”

Oyarzabal accuses the referee
“I think I don’t know whether to pause or go into it, but there must have been a moment of pausethat the referee blew the whistle and we focused on what we needed to focus on, because everyone had an eye on what was happening in the stands. The priority or focus was not football, but to stop what was happening in the stands.
“I think from the first moment, knowing who was coming, we should have taken action and not waited for things to happen. It doesn’t help me that tomorrow there will be a sanction and they won’t let them onto a football field, because those who were hurt today are my fans. “You can’t come to a football match to be an asshole and, before that, ticket sales should be controlled by UEFA,” he concluded.
