The Mayor of Porto, Rui Moreira, who confirmed that both clashes had been resolved accordingly, said no-one was seriously hurt and there were no arrests.

“The Police were very careful – they know how to handle that because we are a football city. After every match, there’s always something going on.”

It has been reported that the Portuguese authorities are planning on increasing the security ahead of the weekend’s Champions League showdown.
