The game was scheduled to start at 17.45 GMT, but footage circulating on social media shows supporters clashing in the stands. RMC Sport report that fighting began when the German club's supporters left the area of the stadium designated for away supporters, seeking out Nice fans - some of whom retaliated. Blows were traded between supporters, with reports that one supporter fell from part of a stand amidst the trouble. Security forces were called, using tear gas to disperse the violence. https://twitter.com/RMCsport/status/1567915399320150017 https://twitter.com/MaxTilliette/status/1567907098708824064 https://twitter.com/MaxTilliette/status/1567905817315131394 Tweets from both clubs have since confirmed that kick-off in the game has been pushed back as security forces attempt to restore a sense of calm within the stadium.
