The incident occurred on May 10th, when Sevilla players were forced to stay overnight at the team complex due to safety concerns caused by a large group of fans. These fans forcibly entered the Jose Ramon Cisneros Palacios training ground.

The fans, many of whom had their faces covered, broke through a metal gate at the training ground's vehicle entrance and caused damage inside the complex. The club condemned the actions, calling it "organized vandalism".
