Madrid Bar Owners Voice Fear of English 'Hooligans' as 70,000 Liverpool & Spurs Fans Head for Madrid

Reports in the Spanish press have cited bars owners in Madrid who are concerned about English 'hooligans' ahead of this weekend's Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham.

The final will take place at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano, with an expected 70,000 fans set to travel to the Spanish capital - 20,000 of whom are set to do so without tickets to watch the game inside the stadium.

It has apparently led to bar owners in the city voicing their concerns over potential hooliganism from travelling fans, with Spanish media outlet Marca running the story on their front page with the headline 'Fear', while an online story speaks of concern about 'hooligans'.
