Negus' family issued a frantic appeal after he went missing in the Spanish capital.

According to Tele Madrid, he was arrested following Liverpool's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final.

Police sources say he was arrested for assaulting two police officerd after they had spotted him at around 2am.

One said: "Two municipal police officers spotted him lying semi-naked and seemingly unconscious in Goya Street in central Madrid, around 2am on Sunday morning.

"They went to aid him but he was very drunk and reacted badly by punching and kicking the two officers who both suffered minor injuries.

"He was arrested for assault and has been held at the Salamanca district National Police station.

"Police had a missing persons’ report but the reason officers didn’t realise he was the man who had been arrested was because he gave them an incorrect name as a result of the state he was in.

"His name was logged as Mac Kullen which was the name he gave."

His translator, Larisa, told Daily Star Online she was with him at court.

She also said his dad was with him, but did not confirm why he was arrested.

"I will update a statement this evening. My family wants everyone to know we our forever in your debt as with out your help we would not have found him thank you everyone."

Negus, 23, from Plymouth, had driven to Madrid with his dad and brother to soak up the atmosphere at a Liverpool fan zone.

"We have contacted the hospitals and police and have walked 30 miles today just looking for him.

"Please just keep sharing there’s 2,000 people talking about him on Twitter, let’s keep that going thanks for all your well wishes."

Following Negus' disappearance, a Tottenham Hotspur fan was also reported missing.

Ryan Quinn was last seen at 8am on Sunday morning in Madrid, after contacting home to say he'd meet his stepson at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

Concerned family member, Richard Smith, told Daily Star Online: "He’s around 5ft 7ins, wears glasses had a white Spurs top and navy adidas shorts.

"This picture was of him on the day of the match when he was last seen – we have no idea where he has gone, he doesn’t have his phone or anything with him.

"He left them back in the hotel.

"He contacted his dad back in the UK at 8am yesterday to say he had been separated from his stepson and couldn’t remember what hotel they were staying at."
