ISIS militants have killed at least 14 Real Madrid fans at a supporters club in northern Iraq.
According to reports in the British media, three gunmen opened fire with machine guns around midnight at the cafe in the town of Balad.
President of the Madrid supporters club, Ziad Subhan, said: “A group of Islamic terrorists, from ISIS, came into the café, armed with AK-47s, shooting at random at everyone who was inside”.
When asked about the motive for the attack, the president said: “They don't like football, they think it's anti-Muslim. They just carry out attacks like this. This is a terrible tragedy.”
The official Twitter account for La Liga posted a message on the micro-blogging site stating it was "thinking of the victims and families".
