A group Sevilla fans stormed the club's training complex following their 3-2 defeat at Celta Vigo on May 10, tearing down an access gate as tensions escalated, with the loss leaving the team just two places clear of the drop zone in La Liga.
The seven-time Europa League champions are 16th with 38 points from 35 games, well off the European places.
After Sevilla suffered their 15th defeat of the season at the Estadio Balaidos, hundreds of fans gathered outside the club’s facilities, waiting for the players to return in a show of anger.
While the police and the club's security team contained the attempted breach, local reports have said the team will remain at the training ground overnight to avoid the enraged crowd.
Reuters contacted Sevilla for comment.
