The two teams meet in La Liga on Saturday night in Madrid

A fight between Rayo Vallecano and Barcelona supporters broke out around the Madrid-based side's home before Saturday's La Liga match between the two clubs. 

There are mixed reports at the moment. According to Cadena Ser, three people have suffered minor injuries as a result of the scuffles and have been taken to hospital. One has arrived at the Hospital Gregorio Marañón with an open wound. The other two have been taken to the Infanta Leonor with different injuries. 

Police are currently investigating exactly what happened. Meanwhile, according to Cadena Cope, a group of 80 members of Barcelona's Boixos Nois have been sent back to the Catalan city. 

Things seem to have calmed down in Vallecas for now as more supporters begin to arrive for the game, which kicks off at 20.45h.
