A strong police presence and 24-hour alcohol ban welcomes Tottenham fans ahead of the Europa League tie against Fiorentina.
The last-32 tie is evenly poised at 1-1 ahead of a return leg for which the authorities in Florence are taking no chances after trouble flared up in the Italian capital. Issues arose ahead of last week’s Europa League clash between Roma and Feyenoord, with 23 Dutch fans arrested as buildings were damaged and bottles thrown.
Perhaps influenced by that, Florentine officials have imposed a city-wide alcohol ban from midnight last night.
