Liverpool released a statement condemning the behaviour and confirming they are working with police to identify those individuals involved.The statement read: “Liverpool Football Club is working with Merseyside Police and the authorities in Spain, who are endeavouring to identify those involved in the incident.“Such behaviour is clearly totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated. “It would be inappropriate to comment further while the situation is ongoing other than to confirm the club will follow due process in any and all cases of this nature.”A couple of hours prior to the publication of Liverpool’s official statement, Peter Moore, the club’s CEO, posted on Twitter urging fans to treat the city with respect.

We proudly sing that weve conquered all of Europe. But lets treat this beautiful city with the respect that it deserves, and act in a manner that is befitting of LFC. By all means have a good time, but we are Liverpool, and as such,lets visit here with grace and humility.— Peter Moore (@PeterMooreLFC) May 1, 2019
