Bolton Wanderers have made an official complaint about "overzealous and disproportionate" treatment of their supporters by Spanish police.
The club contacted European football's governing body Uefa after the 0-0 draw at Atletico Madrid in the Uefa Cup.

Club chairman Phil Gartside said he would take the issue to the "highest level" to get an explanation.

Bolton said there were "a number of assaults and unprovoked baton charges" and about 17 fans were injured.

British police also criticised Spanish officers' "heavy-handed" tactics.

James Kirk, one of an estimated 3,500 Bolton fans in Madrid, said: "We came out of the stadium and just as we came down loads of police with shields and batons rushed back just where we'd come from.

... unfortunately the Madrid police have a reputation for not taking dissent very well

"They were battering people to the ground - it was absolutely brutal and appalling. I've been to Spain many, many times but I tell you I don't want to go again."

Another fan said: "I've been all over the country watching Bolton and the police in Spain behaved like animals. I have never seen anything like it."

Mr Gartside said: "I have great sympathy for any of our supporters who have been injured by what is clearly an overreaction by the Spanish police.

"Bolton Wanderers Football Club will be pursuing the matter at the highest level and seeking an explanation from the Spanish authorities."

The football club is liaising with Greater Manchester Police (GMP) and the British Embassy to try to establish what happened.
