Liverpool have condemned an attack on Real Madrid’s team bus on Wednesday.
The incident took place just before Liverpool’s second leg, quarter final UEFA Champions League game against Real Madrid.
It was reported by some eyewitnesses that the Madrid coach was attacked with rocks and other projectiles.
A video later showed that a window in the bus had been broken following the attack.
Liverpool have not officially reacted to the incident stating that is condemnable.
“We condemn unequivocally the actions that led to Real Madrid’s team bus being damaged during its arrival to Anfield this evening,” a Liverpool spokesperson said.”It is totally unacceptable and shameful behaviour of a few individuals.
“We sincerely apologise to our visitors for any distress caused. We will work together with Merseyside Police to establish the facts and identify those responsible.”
Unfortunately for Liverpool, Wednesday was not the first time that an opposing team’s bus was targeted outside of Anfield.
Manchester City saw their bus attacked ahead of a Champions League quarter-final in April 2018, with the Reds again forced to apologise after the incident.
“We apologise unreservedly to Pep Guardiola, his players, staff and officials caught up in the incident,” Liverpool said after that attack.
“The behaviour of a number of individuals was completely unacceptable and the club will cooperate fully with the authorities to identify those responsible.”
