The extremist unit shared their sickening propaganda in a poster encouraging their followers to attack the footballers' team bus.

The chilling poster features a masked man opening fire with a rifle, as reported by El Confidencial.

It reads: "My dear brother. Wait in a place close to the arrival point of the players. Target them along with their followers."

Another propaganda poster shows Real Madrid’s Bernabeu Stadium with a message in English written over it which says: “A very valuable target awaits you.

“Disrupt their gatherings. Distract their security with IEDs and decoy devices and advance towards your main goal steadily.”

While another disturbing poster with the words "Kill them all" was circulated before the Champions League quarter-finals in April.

Spanish cops have arrested nine people after a joint operation involving Spain’s Civil Guard, Europol and the FBI.

The arrests occurred in Girona in the north-east of Spain, Cadiz in the south, Almeria and Tenerife.

It is understood two of those arrested have been sent to prison pending an ongoing investigation following a court appearance.

Police have yet to make any official comment.

The detainees are said to have been linked to the I’lam Foundation, which describes itself as an Islamic State multi-language media centre that provides content in several languages including French, Arabic and English.

The arrest comes a week after German police arrested a suspected ISIS terrorist who tried to sneak his way into a security guard job at one of the selected stadiums.

The warped terror group has previously threatened to strike the Euros with posters showing terrorists poised to attack stadiums.

Meanwhile, the threat of terrorism in Europe by radical jihadists is at an all-time high with ISIS also threatening to strike the upcoming Paris Olympics and the Champions League in recent months.

Earlier this month the death cult posted a propaganda image showing one of its terrorists seemingly flying an "armed drone" to attack the iconic Eiffel Tower.

The poster, pushed by ISIS-linked social media channels, was captioned: "Lone wolves' Olympics have begun with the Will of Allah."

Western intelligence revealed how cops stopped at least 12 terror attacks in the past 12 months across Europe.

Germany who's hosting the Euro this year has beefed up security by deploying thousands of armed cops.

Security expert Will Geddes told The Sun the country's special forces, intelligence services and armed police will be called up to help prepare for and defend against any possible attacks.
