Police have categorised tonight's Champions League semi-final second leg clash between Liverpool and Villareal in Spain as a 'low risk' fixture because of the bonds displayed between the two sets of supporters.
Merseyside Police has reported back on a UEFA meeting, held before tonight's match in the Spanish city, regarding planning and security. On its twitter account the force said the friendly ties between the fans, which were on show in the first leg at Anfield last week, meant the event could be classed as low risk.
Merseyside Police said: "Just out of the UEFA meeting. To clarify the police match commander has categorised tonight's match as low risk due to the bonds between supporters at Anfield. There will be a short hold back at the end for congestion reasons only."
