AHEAD of the Barcelona-Liverpool UEFA Champions League tie, Liverpool CEO Peter Moore has told the club’s supporters to behave after six fans were arrested in Barcelona on Tuesday following disturbances in the Catalan city.
Police sources confirmed to ESPN FC that six people were detained overnight, later confirmed by Merseyside Police, ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League semifinal first leg between Liverpool and Barcelona at Camp Nou.
They were arrested after fights broke out on Plaza Reial, just off La Rambla, where hundreds of travelling supporters had gathered throughout the afternoon on Tuesday.
Images emerged on social media of the disturbances, with one video showing a fan tipping a bystander into the fountain in the middle of the square.
