CHELSEA and supporters groups were gathering information and preparing to lobby Uefa today after reports of fans being struck by baton-wielding stewards and police in Barcelona last night.

Videos and posts on social media alleged heavy-handed shepherding of visiting supporters before and after the last-16 second leg at the Nou Camp, which Chelsea lost 3-0 to exit the Champions League 4-1 on aggregate.

Chelsea, the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust (CST), Football Supporters’ Federation and Football Supporters Europe are gathering evidence and appealing for information in the wake of the alleged incidents.
