The Daily Telegraph’s Tom Morgan also spoke to some fans regarding the assault at a bar, and tweeted (h/t Sun):
“Officers with batons swept in to confront and clear out Tottenham supporters, who accused officers of heavy-handed tactics.”
Police in Madrid have just come into a bar and just battered about 50 Spurs fans for no reason. Many injured. Only caught the aftermath on camera. Fucking disgusting and unacceptable. @THSTOfficial @FSF_FairCop @SpursOfficial pic.twitter.com/o0gouDPbis

Fans unhappy with treatment in Spain
One fan even told Morgan that they were just having fun in the bar before the police came charging in and smashed tables with their baton (h/t Sun).
The report adds that the police were reacting to claims that some Tottenham supporters had been aggressive to Liverpool fans.
This is the second such incident to take place in Spain with regards to our fans. Earlier in the season, some Spurs fans were hit by Barcelona’s stewards in the Champions League group tie.
