Footage shows Spanish police punching City fans during a scuffle inside the Bernabeu stadium.

Video taken by one fan from the Real Madrid stadium shows Blues supporters being confronted by security staff during the second leg of the Champion’s League semi-final against Real Madrid.

And then – as the recording continues – a man in a striped top is seen remonstrating with event staff.

He is pulled out of the stand in which the visiting fans are stood. As he is carted out of his seat a group of police are then captured entering the shot.

Suddenly, violence erupts as City fans are shoved backwards by the police on the scene.

Scuffles break out between a handful of fans and police, with the camera capturing a number of City followers seeming to be punched in the face by police during the melee.

Another fan shields his head as an officer appears to land a fist into his stomach.

The person filming – clearly upset at what he has seen – is heard screaming ‘scum’ at the officers below.

A number of people at the stadium have reported a number of isolated incidents where fans were ‘indiscriminately’ struck by police with batons on the the way into the stadium.

One fan, who asked not to be named, and had travelled with pals to see the match, also complained of the treatment he and others experienced.

He told the MEN: "Our friend asked if we would get in time to the game. Next second he's getting thrown into a gate. "

"Batons were out and people getting thrown. There were 3,000 city fans in shorts and t shirts. Met by hundreds of police in riot gear. You can't even see their face as they are wearing masks. So OTT."

"Everyone in good spirits. Not a bit of violence yet treated like 'English hooligans' as we are football fans."

He added that one of this friends had been left limping after being hit on the legs with a baton.

"We see our friend getting hit and thrown so obviously walk over with hands in the air saying can we just find out what the problem is."

"We had our tickets taken and even my passport. We are thrown further down the queue without tickets. We got our stuff back. And were told we can't see our friend. We got further abuse going into the ground in totally separate incidents. I mean literally the scuff of my shirt being hold."

Others at the ground said that the Spanish force had used ‘kettling’ tactics, while others said they weren’t allowed into the 81,000-seater stadium until 20 minutes after kick-off.

Another City fan, @Spaceg1rl, at the match posted a picture from the away section showing police surrounding a fallen fan.

She tweeted: “Riot Police beating up City fans for no reason in Madrid. Photo taken by a bystander.”

And another fan, @bignickmcfc, tweeted: “City fans getting battered here.”
