An Arsenal football fan suffered a suspected stab wound when the minibus he was on was ambushed ahead of the club's Champions League tie in Rome.
The bus was attacked by Roma fans after the driver became lost near the Olympic Stadium, the British Embassy said.
The victim was treated inside the stadium for a cut to his leg.
Prior to the match, English fans had been advised to avoid areas where Roma's hooligan following, the Ultras, are known to congregate.
An Arsenal spokeswoman said: "A male Arsenal fan was believed to be stabbed outside the stadium.
"Roma fans threw stones at a bus, smashing windows, and an individual allegedly entered the bus and stabbed a fan."
Penalty win
A British Embassy spokesman said: "This bus got a bit lost around the stadium and some Roma fans tried to get on the bus.
"One managed to get on to the bus and there was a fight.
"The driver managed to get away when the Roma fan was pushed out of the bus."
He added: "We don't know if (the injury) was a stabbing or glass from a smashed window."
Roma won the match 1-0, cancelling out Arsenal's 1-0 win in the first leg, but the London club won a penalty shoot-out 7-6 to book a place in the quarter finals.
Proof that Football fans are nothing but a bunch of mindless thugs. Though I can't understand why fans go on a vendetta when their team has lost. I mean, why are the sports fans so angry?

This is just nuts. Imagine the peaceful relations that these countries have in the European Union could shatter because of brain-dead sports hooligans causing an international incident. You may have to go back in history a bit...but wars have started over less.

Yes, wars have been started over less.
This world is so fucked up, it looks like we are headed for Armageddon, so World War III will most likely be the result of sports hooligans starting an international incident!
I can almost see it now, a huge mushroom cloud in the distance see from my apartment window. Too late to get away, I see the shock-wave arriving and during my late dying seconds, I go out knowing that it was all caused by lowlife scumbag sports hooligans causing an international incident!
What a way to go!
I'm fat and sassy! I love to sing & dance & stomp my feet & really rock your world!
All I want to hear from an ex-jock is "Will that be paper or plastic?" After that he can shut the fuck up!
Heah comes da judge! Heah comes da judge! Order in da court 'cuz heah comes da judge!

Most sports fans are just ridiculous.Why would anyone have a war over a game.It's only a game.It isn't like the world is going to end just because your favorite team lost.Most sports fans are brainless monkies!And Ivyleague is probably the biggest brainless monky of them all!
I think the worst time to have a heart attack is when you are playing a game of charades...or a game of fake heart attack.
Police are investigating an allegation of common assault made against Jose Mourinho after a Champions League tie.
It has been alleged the Inter Milan manager punched a supporter as he left Old Trafford stadium after his team's defeat by Manchester United.
Police have contacted United to request CCTV footage of the area and have confirmed a complaint has been made.
Inter Milan have denied the allegations, saying Mourinho had a "very calm post-game experience".
A statement from the club read: "At the end of the game, the Portuguese tactician gave interviews to the European media, signed autographs, watched the penalties of the Roma v Arsenal game before saluting (Sir Alex) Ferguson in his office.
"After giving the last interview to Inter Channel, he entered the team bus that was parked outside the dressing rooms and hence it was a very calm post-game experience."
A spokesman for Manchester United confirmed they were aware of the allegation but made no further comment.
The fan is alleged to have chanted, "You're going home, you're going home" to the former Chelsea manager.
The man later went into Stretford police station, close to Old Trafford, to report the alleged attack.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: "Just before midnight on Wednesday 11 March 2009 a man reported he'd been punched in the face outside Old Trafford.
"Police are investigating this common assault allegation. Inquiries are ongoing."
The allegation came after Mourinho watched his team crash out of the Champions League after Nemanja Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo scored for United at the start of each half.
Mourinho has come under attack from the Italian media for his failure to get Inter through to the last eight teams in the competition.
The plane taking the Inter party back to Milan left Manchester at 0025 GMT.
The fan, who is not from the Greater Manchester area, did not report any injuries to police after the alleged attack and did not need treatment.
^ Some people are just so childish! There is no reason why he should have assaulted the other man. Yet another example of how sports players,fans,and even managers have no brains!

If they did have any brains, they would just throw them down on the ground and play with them!

I remember a few years ago, a friend of mine was at an extremely violent riot, and druing the fight, a game broke out!
Football is the most violent sport there is, next to hockey.

I don't know.

Please do tell me more about this one!
