Man City fan says he was detained, beaten and deported without explanation before the Champions League final

A Manchester Ciy fan says his dream trip to see his team in the Champions League final turned into a 'nightmare' after he was detained, beaten and deported without explanation.

He said it was as he stood in the queue at passport control that things started to go so drastically wrong. "Someone grabbed my left arm, I panicked a bit as I had my bag on with all my money in and stuff. They grabbed me and pulled me out. The handcuffs were eventually taken off and Jamie was given his phone and bag back, though when he took a photograph of one of his attackers, who were wearing uniforms with 'police' written on them, he said the officer punched him, snatched his phone and deleted the image.

He says he was told to get some sleep before being woken and escorted onto an early morning flight back to Manchester Airport with his passport given to staff who handed it over to him as they landed. He said watching the final at home was a 'weird, weird feeling.' "During the day I was watching Sky Sports News and could see all the Blues in the square and stuff and it just felt like it had been stolen from me. I was just sat there thinking 'what the hell has just happened?'

Gemma told the website Travel Gossip that one member of staff showed her the ban against his name on their system and suggested they can be implemented for something as menial as an unpaid mini bar bill or speeding fine on a previous visit.
