Spanish media reaction?

 

Was it the foaming fountains or the beach ball violence against the 'living' statues in the square that provoked the baton charges?

 

Did we even make the local papers on the Friday?

 

The only thing missing from this sortie was the water cannons - is there an H2O shortage in Madrid at the moment?

We did, I have a Saturday paper that covers continues the coverage. The only bit I understood was that we were all under the influence of alcohol, even the 8 year old kids.

Yes there is a water shortage in most of Spain not just Madrid...!!!

 

The reports that I've seen say they are expecting AM to be fined and many AM fans have been critical of the policing, yet they are also saying BW fans had been throwing bottles etc and caused some of the trouble. In one of the main sport papers they are expecting UEFA to impose a ban on them.
