VIDEO/PHOTOS: MANCHESTER CITY TEAM BUS WRECKED BY DISGRACEFUL LIVERPOOL FANS

TUESDAY Liverpool fans had gathered around the Arkles pub on Anfield Road to greet their own team bus prior to kick-off. It turned hostile for the Citizens whose team bus was pelleted with eggs, flares, cans and glass bottles by Liverpool fans. It had its windows smashed - another bus had to be arranged to take players and staff back to Manchester. UEFA is now investigating the incidence and charges will be brought against anybody found guilty of the disturbing occurrence.

 In his pre-match interview with BT Sport, Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, apologized to City and  urged supporters to respect the law and their opponents, not until the damage had been done, hopefully it will prevent any future re-occurrence.
He said:
"It's wonderful, it's great, it shows everything, it shows the passion. As long as it happens in a legal way, I'm completely fine with it." 
"There was a lot of talk about it before and we tried everything to avoid a situation like that."
"When we came here we had to take another way as well, which we thought okay, well obviously that's because last time it didn't work well."
"When we came through it was obviously very positive but we didn't know when we were on the bus about what happened before because City were in front. For Liverpool FC I have to say sorry."

Also speaking to BT Sport, Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, said:
"I want to say thank you to Jurgen for his words. I know he didn't expect that, we didn't expect that, so with what happened last season in Dortmund I didn't expect yesterday about people asking me about that - I thought the police would know and do something about that."
"Fortunately for us nothing happened to the players."
"I know that this is not Liverpool - I know the club is much bigger than the four, five or 10 guys. Hopefully it doesn't happen again."

Liverpool released an official statement condemning the incident and apologized to the Citizens for the attack:
"The club condemns in the strongest possible terms the scenes which preceded our Champions League quarter-final, which resulted in damage being inflicted on the Manchester City team bus during their arrival at Anfield.
"We apologise unreservedly to Pep Guardiola, his players, staff and officials caught up in the incident."
"The behaviour of a number of individuals was completely unacceptable and the club will cooperate fully with the authorities to identify those responsible."
"The priority now is to establish the facts and offer Manchester City whatever support is necessary."
