Shocking moment Atletico Madrid fans attack Man Utd supporters ahead of match in Spain tonight
Atletico Madrid fans attacked Manchester United supporters on Tuesday night ahead of tonight's Champions League match in Spain, shocking footage has shown.
But fans of the Spanish footballing giant seemed to flee in surprise when the British supporters stood up to them, with one man shouting 'come on you f***ing d***heads' as they turned tails and ran.
The 40-second video taken amidst the violence shows the two groups of fans clashing at night on a narrow street in Madrid outside bars and restaurants.
One of the groups - believed to be Spanish ultras - are shown mostly wearing all black, with their faces covered by balaclavas, as they pick up and throw chairs down the street at the others.
Spanish authorities also reported other clashes in the city, with local reports saying officers had to intervene on Tuesday night.
Separate footage posted on TikTok showed Spanish officers hitting Manchester United fans with batons. Panicked onlookers, including the person filming the incident, are shown fleeing the scene. Some are captured hurriedly grabbing their belongings from tables and chairs as the angry mob advance down the narrow road.
The sound of smashing glasses and tableware can be heard over the sound of shouting between the two groups.
The majority of voices sound like they are speaking Spanish, but one man with a Mancunian accent can be heard shouting: 'Come on you f***ing d***heads'.
At this point, about 20 seconds into the footage, the balaclava-clad men suddenly turn-tails and start running back up the street in the direction they came from.
Objects are seen being thrown after them as they flee, leaving a trail of damage.
