It's clear Braga shouldn't have sold tickets in the home end. Not a dig at anyone who bought them, but they weren't set up to cope with it
I wonder if Liverpool encountered the same issues? Does anyone recall another fixture where the home team has knowingly sold that amount of tickets to away fans?Plus Braga gave Liverpool over 5000 tickets when they played there, so the numbers including those in the home ends is a complete red herring.
Braga also emphasised that they have “extensive and successful experience with UEFA in organising games for European competition, gained over consecutive seasons of competing in major tournaments and against opponents from various countries, whose supporters have been welcomed by the club and the city.”
