And we turn to the ugly side of the beautiful game, where violence marred the match between Athletic Bilbao and Spartak Moscow. The clashes occurring before the game, and outside the Basque club's stadium.

Regional police officers were ready for some kind of scuffle, deploying more than 500 officials to the scene, but that did not deter the violence. One officer died after suffering a heart attack dealing with the protests, it is unclear if it was due to the violence, or natural causes. For what it's worth Spartak won the match 2-1 but were knocked out of competition 4-3 on aggregate after losing the first leg 3-1 in Moscow.
