BENFICA supporters clashed with stewards following their Champions League defeat to Barcelona on Tuesday.
The Portuguese side suffered a 3-1 loss to Hansi Flick's team at Estadi Olimpic Lluís Companys.
They subsequently crashed out of the Champions League by losing 4-1 on aggregate.
Supporters were left furious at full-time and clashed with stewards in the stands.
Some fans and stewards appeared to hit each other, with objects also thrown.
Both sets of supporters clashed outside the stadium before the match.
The fixture was deemed high-risk prior to the clash, with Barcelona leading 1-0 on aggregate.
Raphinha broke the deadlock with an 11th-minute strike before Nicolas Otamendi equalised just a few moments later.
Barcelona then sealed the win thanks to additional goals from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
After the match, Flick said: "I’m happy, of course. We have respected Benfica, their coach.

On Yamal, he added: "I’m very happy for him; he hasn’t scored in a while. He was happy too because it was an important goal for us.
"He was great. He’s showing a lot of confidence; the goal came at the perfect time."
