“Following detailed and troubling accounts given by Liverpool supporters attending the match, the club is seeking to establish the

Jay McKenna, the chairman of the Liverpool supporters’ group Spirit of Shankly, said his organisation had received dozens of complaints from fans with more expected once people have returned home.
“A few dozen people have already been in touch in the immediate aftermath and a couple more today but most people are still travelling back,” he said. “We know the club are investigating and we are in touch with supporters, trying to get their experiences.

“We’ve had supporters forced into various parts of the ground. There were fans who had tickets for the upper and lower tiers ending up next to each other, leading to more people in the upper tier than there should have been. One of our

The chief executive of the Football Supporters’ Federation, Kevin Miles, called for more to be done to protect supporters’ safety. “Sadly there was a predictable inevitability to these events as the Spanish police have a consistent track record of ill treatment and abuse of visiting fans,” he said.
“They particularly seem to relish attacking fans of English clubs. Through the network of Football Supporters’ Europe we have raised this matter repeatedly with Uefa and we know

Liverpool collapsed in the second half to squander a three-goal lead against Sevilla but a draw with Spartak Moscow at Anfield on 6 December will be enough to send them through to the Champions League knockout stages.
