Liverpool say that they are working with police in England and Spain following an incident involving fans ahead of tonight's Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.
A video which emerged on social media shows a Liverpool fan dumping a man into a fountain in the Plaza Reial area of Barcelona.
Here’s 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.

Another video shows a man emerging soaking wet from the fountain, only to be ridiculed by the same fan.
"Liverpool Football Club is working with Merseyside Police and the authorities in Spain, who are endeavouring to identify those involved in the incident," said the club in a statement.
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.
Liverpool CEO Peter Moore called for fans to "treat this beautiful city with the respect that it deserves".
We proudly sing that we’ve conquered all of Europe. But let’s 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,let’s visit here with grace and humility.
