Sevilla Fans Vent Fury After Loss

According to Главком: Following a 0-1 defeat to Oviedo in La Liga's 30th round, supporters of Sevilla FC staged a furious protest against the players and club president José María del Nido Carrasco. The demonstration, which took place on April 30, 2026, saw fans chanting slogans such as 'Get out!' and 'José, die. Coward!'.
