I remember that. It was one of the worst escalations in recent Ajax history. We've seen 'only' (...) two or three riots on that scale since Ajax moved to the ArenA in 1996. At the time we were in the middle of a deep, deep crisis. Today's Ajax is not *great*, but definitely much better than the 2001 team (although we didn't show it at Brøndby). There was a lot of frustration amongst the fans at the time and after the elimination by FCK it just exploded. We added a special piece about the violence to our match report on Ajax USA at the time:

The sad thing is: when there are football riots the police can arrest people randomly, but in order to punish or convict them you'll need proof against individuals (I'm sure this is the same in Denmark, as our legal systems are very similar; being 'on the scene' of a riot is not enough for a legal conviction) and that's always hard to find. I remember that the police only arrested people whom they actually 'caught in the act' of doing something. The ones that were arrested were handed a 'stadium ban', as we call it. But the number of arrests wasn't overwhelmingly high... (I believe 10 or 12, in the end: 5 or 6 on the day and a few in the days thereafter, who were recognized on police video footage and picked out of their houses).
