"We can confirm that a Basque policeman died Thursday," said a press spokesman for the Ertzaintza regional police. Earlier in the evening, police made a number of arrests as the violence and injuries escalated. We do not know if they are all supporters of Spartak, but many of them are Russians," a spokesman for Ertzaintza told AFP. The trouble began as Spartak ultras arrived at the San Mames stadium in Bilbao for the game. Spartak won the match 2-1, but Bilbao went through 4-3 on aggregate.
