LIVERPOOL fans have been filmed pushing locals into a fountain in Barcelona.
Thousands of Reds supporters were enjoying the sunshine and beers in the Catalan city ahead of their Champions League semi-final tonight.
But the festivities appeared to get out of hand with one supporter rugby tackling a local headfirst into the fountain at Placa Reial square, as captured on video.
The sunned local hits the water, which is only a few inches deep and appears completely shell-shocked.
Another video shows another man being shoved into what appears to be the same fountain.
Dozens of fans laugh at his misfortune, as he walks away drenched, checking if his mobile phone still works.
According to Mundo Deportivo, six Liverpool fans were arrested after two workers at the hotel on the square were allegedly assaulted and needed medical attention.
BEERS CONFISCATED
The Spanish publication also claims cans of beer were thrown at police and they began confiscating alcohol containers — of which an estimated 3,000 had been sold.
One Liverpool supporters’ Twitter account said: “Here is the ‘Liverpool fan’ who tripped a Barcelona local into the fountain.
“Vile behaviour and not what the club is about at all.
“Think @LFC should attempt to take this further, he doesn’t represent our fan base.”
Just under 5,000 fans will attend the last four of the Champions League tonight, with Jurgen Klopp’s side tipped to push the Catalan giants closer than Manchester United did in the last round.
