But there were few other signs of trouble before, during and after the match which ended in a 0-0 draw and sets up a tense second leg that will take place in Munich's Allianz Arena on March 13.

Merseyside Police Superintendent Dave Charnock said: "Although we did see a small number of arrests yesterday, the overwhelming majority of Liverpool and Bayern Munich fans who both went to the game and watched it at various locations across the city were extremely well behaved.

"Any sporting event means a large policing operation and it is always a pleasure to accommodate fans and welcome them to the city when they are so well spirited.

"I would like to thank the supporters of both clubs for their cooperation and assistance both before, during and after the match."
