Five of the detainees had already been released but would be summoned to appear before a judge at a later date, and two remained in police custody but were expected to be allowed to leave later today, a spokesman said.
The handful of incidents that marred what was otherwise a good-natured, boozy celebration included a fight between rival sets of fans in San Sebastian last night which cops defused without making any arrests.
Skirmishes broke out at the city's San Mames stadium, with one Brit filmed being pinned to the ground by police with batons and guns and marched away in handcuffs after getting into a street punch-up with a rival fan.
