The Guardian report:

Over 90 Russian soccer fans were arrested on Tuesday
following a Champions League match between Lokomotiv Moscow
and Inter Milan.

Russian news agencies reported that police had arrested more
than 90 supporters, most of them drunk, who were celebrating
a shock 3-0 Lokomotiv victory over the Italian side.

There were no major incidents reported as opposite fans were
kept apart. Some 200 Inter supporters were driven away in
buses to their hotel in the central Moscow.

Fan clashes are common in Russian soccer. Several hundred
CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow fans fought in the city on
Sunday afternoon following a reserve match between the two
clubs.
