In Rome last week, the Italian police were criticised for what was believed to be their heavy-handed approach towards United fans, and it was a similar story in Seville.
On Wednesday UEFA's director of communications William Gaillard urged European police to follow Britain's lead when it comes to dealing with violence.
Gaillard told Radio Five Live: "Our president Michel Platini has repeatedly asked police to learn from the British experience and way of handling things.

Sixteen football fans -- 12 English and four Italian -- were charged Wednesday after clashes with police marred Manchester United's Champions League quarter-final victory over AS Roma, police said. -
The police in roma shld really learn.
Instead of whacking n whacking.
At least the roma fans got a whacking of a different kind in the end. -

consider if ManU has played the first leg in OT and there was similar fan unrest and the police hoot those supporters and in the return leg, the Italian police, learning from the experience from the first leg, adopted another approach - will the headline be "Euro Police to learn from Italian Police?"
In the first place, the clubs (both Roma & Man U) shld ensure that their fans are behaving sensibly - and ban those troublemakers from ever entering into the staudium. The Ultras as they call them, are really the ones who are creating all this unrest but the clubs are unwilling to move against them because they are the die-hard supporters who buy the most expensive season tickets. -
whatever italian do, they won't change, same as Spanish with racists.
