Celje stunned as team bus clamped ahead of Conference League quarter final | OneFootball

Slovenian side NK Celje had an unfortunate situation before their Conference League quarter-final with Fiorentina, as their team bus was clamped.

The first leg saw the Viola emerge with a 2-1 victory last week and the decider kicked off at the Stadio Franchi at 17.45 UK time (16.45 GMT).

You can follow all the action as it happens from that game and Lazio vs. Bodo/Glimt in the Liveblog.

It would seem that Celje were not given a warm welcome to Florence, because they fell foul of the local traffic police.

The Corriere dello Sport published a photograph of the team bus complete with the NK Celje branding, only the wheels had been clamped.

According to the newspaper’s website, this is because the bus was parked in a forbidden zone and the local authorities had absolutely no sympathy for the Conference League quarter-finalists.

They managed to get to the stadium on time, but it remains to be seen if they will be able to travel back in the same vehicle.
