Spanish police have issued a warning about fake applications targeting fans of the Barcelona versus Levante football match.

The Guardia Civil states that fake streaming apps, often under names such as Futbol Libre, are rampant online. These applications pose as legal options to stream the game.

Unfortunately, they can harm smartphones and computers by installing malicious software. User passwords and personal data are at risk of exposure to theft.

Authorities urge that supporters only use official and verified services to watch live matches. The scams exploit the high interest in the game to deceive users.
