Riots as more than 100 Barcelona fans are arrested as they celebrate VICTORY in Champions League
28th May
2009
It's a scene reminiscent of the dark days of football hooliganism - riot police trying to subdue violent football fans, even resorting to firing rubber bullets to control them.
But what makes these images so shocking is that the fans had seen their team Barcelona
WIN the Champions League final against Manchester United - and should have been celebrating.
Spanish police arrested 119 people in Barcelona in the early hours of this morning as thousands took to the streets to mark last night's victory.
The jubilant scenes turned ugly when rioters began overturning barricades and throwing cans, bottles and stones at police, who responded with rubber bullets.
Meanwhile four were
KILLED in Nigeria when an outraged Manchester United fan drove his minibus into a crowd of celebrating Barcelona supporters.
A police spokeswoman in the town of Ogbo said 10 people were injured and the driver was arrested. 'The driver had passed the crowd then made a U-turn and ran into them,' she said. Both teams have large fanbases in the African nation.
In Barcelona television pictures from the centre of the city showed violence flaring among the 150,000 fans, who had watched on television as their team stormed to a 2-0 win in Rome.
All over the city fans set rubbish containers alight and smashed windows, signs and traffic lights.
Police fired rubber bullets in an effort to disperse crowds in the city's main square and down its most famous thoroughfare, Las Ramblas, shortly after 2am local time.
A total of 153 revellers were injured, with some taken away by ambulance.
The arrests were for public disorder, damages and threatening police officers. Police also had to break up several fights between drunken fans.
Police estimated 150,000 fans gathered in the city's Catalonia Square to watch the match, the third time the team has won Europe's top club competition.
Two weeks ago police arrested 45 people in the same area of Barcelona in violence following the team's victory in the King's Cup final against Bilbao.
