Ugly scenes: Take a closer look at Partizan fans humiliating their club's footballers

Disgraceful events unfolded under the southern stand of the stadium after the game

It was sad to be a supporter, and especially a player of Partizan Belgrade football club at the end of the match against AEK Larnaca, where the Serbian team managed only a 2-2 draw and was eliminated from the qualifications for the Europa League competition. The heavy atmosphere during the match culminated at the very end, when the players were targeted by the most ardent supporters in the south stand.

The fans humiliated them like never before, were forcing them to chant against the management, which the footballers did not want, and after that they took out all their frustration on them.

It was immediately clear to everyone that the players are the wrong target to focus all this frustration on, but that was not a problem for the top of the South and some masked hooligans wearing balaclavas.

The players, as always, went under the stand at the end of the match to salute the fans, but if they knew what they were about to experience, they probably would have just ran headlong into the tunnel instead.

However, they did come, and the South proceeded to treat them like enemies, although they probably did the best they could on the pitch.

In the end, when they refused to chant against the management, psychological abuse followed. With insults, they were sent back to in front of the stand, where they were "lined up" and stood there looking miserable, while several masked hooligans walked around them on the athletics track threatening them?!

It is unbelievable that the police did not react to detain and remove the persons who came down to the track with balaclavas on their heads and threatened the players like that's the most normal thing to do - while the officers had no problem running into the stands during the match and beating ordinary fans in the East stand.

In the end, the players had to take off their jerseys and, and after "learning their lesson," head to the dressing room half naked, miserable, and humiliated.

The harassment did not end there, because afterwards the fans banged on their windows and continued to abuse them psychologically.

There is hardly a way to describe this scandal, the details of which you can see up close in the gallery. The bottom of the barrel.

After dropping out from the Europa League, Partizan will play in the playoffs of the Conference League, and its opponent will be the Maltese Hamrun, who surprised Levski in Sofia.

Partizan head coach Ilija Stolica paid the price for this outcome on Thursday evening and got fired, so the club will now continue the season with a new coach. For now, the two most serious candidates are Savo Milosevic and Aleksandar Vukovic, Telegraf has learned.
