West Ham supporters were ambushed by masked Eintracht Frankfurt ultras at a pub in the German city last night, raising tensions of further trouble to come during this evening's Europa League semi-final second leg.
Video footage posted online showed fans of the Premier League club being attacked at Waxy's Irish pub in the city centre while they watched Real Madrid's Champions League win over Manchester City. A larger number of West Ham supporters had gathered in a nearby bar, O'Reilly's, but were not targeted.
One video showed West Ham fans inside the bar being pelted with missiles. Several returned fire, including one throwing a full pint of beer as the German supporters retreated. Elsewhere, West Ham supporters were heard singing the controversial "10 German bombers" chant, which UEFA have previously warned could lead to punishment.
