Manchester City fans clash with police ahead of Real Madrid match?

City fans 'battered' by Madrid police?

Manchester City fans have reportedly clashed with Spanish police ahead of their Champions League game against Real Madrid.

Natalie Pike, a matchday presenter at City, took to Twitter to share her version of events from Madrid.

She tweeted: "Just watched spanish police batter city fans. A big group of about 100 of us outside a bar opposite the stadium and they tore in battons up.

"Been going football 20 years never seen anything like it. On my life city fans doing nothing but singing and having fun.

"Women, kids, teenagers, all treated like scum. So out of order. Am so upset."

City fans had made the trip to Spain in large numbers to watch their opening Champions League Group D match away to Jose Mourinho's side.
