Tonight's Europa League final clash has been marred by pre-match scuffles between Liverpool and Sevilla fans.

Both sides go head-to-head on the pitch at Basel's St Jakob-Park but unfortunately fighting broke out in the stadium between a small group of supporters before the game which forced riot police to intervene:
