Sevilla fans storm training ground after 3-2 defeat at Celta Vigo
May 10 (Reuters) - A group Sevilla fans stormed the club's training complex following their 3-2 defeat at Celta Vigo on Saturday, tearing down an access gate as tensions escalated, with the loss leaving the team just two places clear of the drop zone in LaLiga.
The seven-times Europa League champions are 16th with 38 points from 35 games, well off the European places.
After Sevilla suffered their 15th defeat of the season at the Estadio Balaidos, hundreds of fans gathered outside the club's facilities, waiting for the players to return in a show of anger.
While the police and the club's security team contained the attempted breach, local reports have said the team will remain at the training ground overnight to avoid the enraged crowd.
Reuters contacted Sevilla for comment.
Sevilla are set to resume training on Sunday ahead of hosting relegation-threatened Las Palmas on Tuesday.

Carlos Alcaraz defends French Open title after epic tussle with Jannik Sinner
Carlos Alcaraz came from two sets down and saved three match points to overcome Jannik Sinner and defend his French Open title in the longest final in Roland Garros history. The Spaniard showed incredible reserves of energy and willpower to win a five-hour 29-minute marathon and deny world number one Sinner a third consecutive grand slam title. Advertisement Instead Alcaraz claimed his fifth major crown at exactly the same age as his idol Rafael Nadal did, aged 22 years, one month and three days old. CARLOS II, PRINCE OF CLAY 👑 #RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 8, 2025 It was his fifth victory from his fifth final, which was the first at one of the slams to be played between two players born this century. It was also the first grand slam final meeting of the two young superstars of men's tennis, the best players on the planet, who have now shared the last six major titles. And it is one that will go down as a cast-iron Roland Garros classic, a final for the ages, a high-quality, heavy-hitting marathon which finished 4-6 6-7 (4) 6-4 7-6 (3) 7-6 (10-2) to the man from Murcia. Advertisement After receiving the trophy – not from Nadal but from 1999 champion Andre Agassi – Alcaraz said: 'Jannik, it's amazing the level you reach. 'To everyone who came from Murcia to support me, thank you. This trophy is yours also. Carlos Alcaraz hugs Jannik Sinner after winning an epic final (Aurelien Morissard/AP) 'Paris, you have been important support for me since the first practice in the first round, I can't thank you enough. You will always be in my heart.' Italian Sinner, on a 20-match winning streak at the slams, looked certain to add the Paris title to his US and Australian Open crowns when he forged two sets ahead. Advertisement He had lost his previous four matches against Alcaraz – the most recent in the Rome final last month, his first tournament after serving a three-month doping ban. But the 23-year-old has been almost untouchable in the French capital, dropping serve only three times before the final and saving 19 of the 22 break points he had faced. Some loose hitting from Alcaraz gave Sinner a break in the first game of the third, but perhaps being short of matches after his enforced absence was beginning to tell as last year's winner clawed back the deficit to force a fourth. Spain's Carlos Alcaraz celebrates with the trophy (Thibault Camus/AP) That ended a run of 31 consecutive sets won by Sinner at grand slam tournaments, stretching back to the Australian Open fourth round. Advertisement With both players now playing at close to their top levels, it was Sinner who made the first move in the fourth set, breaking to love to lead 4-3. Second seed Alcaraz, scrambling to cling on to his title, then somehow saved three championship points on his own serve, before incredibly digging even deeper to break back. In the tie-break Sinner edged two points ahead but then started missing, while Alcaraz fired down back-to-back aces on his way to levelling the match. Sinner had never before won a match lasting longer than four hours – mainly because he has never really had to – but he was guzzling the pickle juice at the changeover to try and find more energy. Advertisement What a tournament. Take a bow, @janniksin 🧡 #RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 8, 2025 But Alcaraz, having clinched an early break, served for the set only for Sinner to somehow chase down an outrageous drop shot to level the match again. A 10-point tie-break was needed to separate them, an early-evening shoot-out to decide the champion, and by now Alcaraz had his eye in. A glorious winner, a drop-shot and volley and some wayward shots from Sinner helped him race ahead, and a final, spectacular forehand winner sealed an unbelievable victory. Sinner said: 'First of all, congratulations Carlos. It was an amazing performance from you again. It was an amazing battle. 'It is easier to play than to talk right now. Even though it is very difficult right now, it is okay. It is a big privilege for me to be here and to play here. 'For me, Paris is a really special place. I have achieved many great things here. I'm still happy with this one. It is an amazing trophy. 'I won't sleep very well tonight but it is okay.'
