Manchester City's Champions League match on Tuesday night was marred by crowd trouble, with Feyenoord fans causing chaos at the Etihad Stadium. The Dutch supporters, escorted by police from the city centre to the stadium, filled all three tiers of the South Stand.
After City scored three goals, Feyenoord managed to net one with about 15 minutes left, leading to riot police stepping in to prevent clashes between home and away fans.

Following the goal, Feyenoord fans charged towards City supporters in the East Stand corner, with objects being hurled across the divide.
Riot police soon bolstered the stewards' lines separating the two fan sections. Feyenoord's second goal led to more tense moments before they equalised late in the game.
Despite this, it was an astonishing end to a match that City seemed to have under control midway through the second half, thanks to Erling Haaland's penalty and subsequent goals from Ilkay Gundogan and Haaland again.
However, the Dutch team took advantage of a lacklustre City performance and individual mistakes to stage an impressive comeback. Jack Grealish came close to securing a late victory for City with a deflected shot that hit the bar, but the match ultimately ended in a draw.
The remarkable collapse by City at the home ground baffled Amazon Prime pundits Gael Clichy and Stuart Pearce, who were shocked to see their run of matches without a win extend to six.
"I am lost for words," Clichy said. "Going forward you need to be given freedom but for defenders there are rules you must follow.
"When you are defending and there is no pressure on the ball you can't have your line flat. From a very comfortable game, 3-0 up, everyone thinking about Liverpool on Sunday, and now at 3-3, that will feel like a defeat."
Pearce added: "I have been in this stadium many times over the last few years and I have been wowed by what I've seen. I have been wowed by that.
"City will be taking this like a defeat."
