Liverpool have moved to "condemn unequivocally" the actions of some individuals who smashed a window of the Real Madrid team bus on its route to Anfield on Wednesday night.
As Zinedine Zidane and his players drove towards the stadium before their Champions League quarter-final clash with the Reds, a bottle was reported to have been thrown at the vehicle, smashing a window in the process.
Hundreds of supporters lined the streets outside the ground before kick-off to welcome the Reds into the stadium prior to the behind-closed-doors game.
Liverpool were quick to brand the behaviour of the minority of people as "totally unacceptable" in a statement released shortly before kick-off at Anfield.
A club statement read: “We condemn unequivocally the actions that led to Real Madrid’s team bus being damaged during its arrival to Anfield this evening.
"It is totally unacceptable and shameful behaviour of a few individuals."
Liverpool offered an apology to Real Madrid and said they are working with the relevant authorities to establish more details.
“We sincerely apologise to our visitors for any distress caused." Liverpool added.
"We will work together with Merseyside Police to establish the facts and identify those responsible.”
It is unclear how many were involved in the incident which bears a resemblance to scenes in April 2018 when Manchester City's team coach was subject to bottles being thrown at it prior to a European tie.
