Tensions at Renzo Barbera Stadium before Parma match: Palermo, firecrackers, and bottle throwing.
The article describes moments of tension outside the Renzo Barbera stadium, just before the match against Parma. Around two hundred hooded Palermo fans allegedly set off firecrackers in the area between the entrances to the stadium and Viale Croce Rossa, where glass bottles were also thrown near the first entrance. An car was also set on fire. The Palermo ultras reportedly tried to break through the police blockade to enter the away fans’ section, where some Catania fans, historical rivals of the home team, were also present. Armored police vehicles and riot police are on the scene to maintain order. Inside the stadium, tensions continued as Palermo fans stole a banner from Parma ultras in the away section just minutes before kick-off. The Parma fans managed to save the other banners and then threw some seats towards the South curve. Firecrackers were also reportedly thrown again. The Palermo fans are targeting the organized Parma fans, who are reinforced by some Catania fans at the stadium today. The area around the stadium is heavily guarded by police and carabinieri to restore order.
