The 2008 UEFA Cup Final riots were a series of public disorder incidents that took place in Manchester, England, on the day of the 2008 UEFA Cup Final. Serious disorder was allegedly sparked by the failure of a big screen erected in Piccadilly Gardens to transmit the match to thousands of Rangers fans who had travelled to the city without tickets.

  • Gli scontri di Piccadilly Gardens o battaglia di Piccadilly, sono le espressioni giornalistiche usate dai mass media britannici per indicare la guerriglia urbana esplosa la notte del 14 maggio 2008 nel centro cittadino di Manchester al termine della contestata finale di Coppa UEFA tra Zenit San Pietroburgo e Rangers Glasgow qui tenutasi. Prima della partita alcuni tifosi delle due squadre hanno provocato una grande rissa all'interno di un edificio vicino allo stadio riuscendo a non essere identificati, causandone l'immediata chiusura.
