The Islamic State (ISIS) has threatened terrorist attacks against UEFA Champions League games in Madrid set for Tuesday and Wednesday, The Street Journal said.

Spanish authorities say they are on high alert after the al-Azaim Foundation, a media channel that spreads ISIS messages, threatened an attack on all four stadiums hosting this week’s quarter-finals, including the Parc des Princes stadium, the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, the Metropolitan stadium, and in the Emirates stadium in London.

Authorities in Madrid say they have activated response systems due to the threat.
