"We had a situation at the fan park this afternoon where some Liverpool fans were queuing up for three hours to get into a free event. Our focus today will be supporting Liverpool city council with the policing of the homecoming parade." "The situation here is a bit of a strange one. There are so many police, riot police and security guards here and their mindset has been to stop anybody without a ticket getting anywhere near the stadium. "In the last few minutes, me and three of my crew were tear-gassed for no reason whatsoever by the French police. "From what I've seen, even at the Liverpool fan park, the French police's attitude has been very heavy-handed with absolutely zero tolerance. The agency reported seeing two fans - one wearing Liverpool attire - wrestled to the ground by stewards and bundled out of the gates. Sky Sports presenter Kelly Cates, attending the final as a supporter, had also tweeted: "Absolutely shambolic at the Stade de France. No way in, no way of knowing which way to go. "This is the greatest match in European football and supporters should not have to experience the scenes we have witnessed tonight. "It seems to me that the whole policing operation before this game was ineffective," Solhekol concluded. It has the potential to be very dangerous." "This created a build-up of fans trying to get in.
Spurs news: What Jurgen Klopp said after Real Madrid vs Liverpool in the Champions League final would have pricked the ears of Tottenham supporters.
The Reds drew 1-1 with Antonio Conte's Tottenham side as the Premier League season came towards its conclusion and it was those two dropped points for Liverpool that had a huge impact on the outcome of the title in the end.

Once I’d got there I was let in with my pass and headed to thepress area to watch the remaining 25 minutes of the first half. There will be an investigation - but it’s a catalogue of failures from the top. When I’d texted him to get a meeting point, he said he had been mugged. With the fans now locked out, the anger started to rise and tension had mounted. I had no choice but to hunt around the outer concourse for an alternative entrance. After a scuffle and handing the fan a right hook, the gang got away. There was also a journalist next to me with accreditation who was being ignored. The back of my throat was on fire slowly spreading behind my eyeballs and then into my eyes. I began to taste pepper. Once I’d made it through to the front, the four stewards were hostile. The tear gas that the fans I’d spoken to had been talking about. A sign that nobody else was getting in.
Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson slammed the “shambles” that saw the Champions League final delayed by 35 minutes.
“What I heard is that we will have further investigations to figure out what was going on there. The Champions League should be a celebration but it wasn’t that,” Robertson said. It wasn’t a nice experience, not a nice final to come to.

- tried to respond and would have scored twice in the second half had he not come up against someone doing a wonderful impression of Superman in the Real goal. Back in 2018 Salah had left the pitch in floods of them after damaging his shoulder in a tangle with Sergio Ramos. He was unable to control his emotions and cried more from the pain of not being able to help his team, more than the eventual outcome. Moments later Salah tested the Real goalkeeper again with a powerful strike. But the scars of 2018 have run the deepest and never healed. His road to redemption had led him to Paris and the chance to "settle an old score" with the team he still had nightmares about. It had been his first Final, but he ended it sitting in a Kyiv hospital having his shoulder examined.

The UK Government are backing Liverpool's plea for UEFA to launch a "formal investigation," as Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries declared: "The footage and accounts from Liverpool fans and the media on their entry to the Stade de France last night are deeply concerning.

It happens on a very, very regular basis.” “A football stadium is a reflection of the state of our society and our society after the health crisis is not doing well: it is anxious, worried, disunited, quarrelsome and – it has to be said – a little crazy,” he suggested. “We are hugely disappointed at the stadium entry issues and breakdown of the security perimeter that Liverpool fans faced this evening at Stade de France,” the statement said, “this is the greatest match in European football and supporters should not have to experience the scenes we have witnessed tonight.” According to a statement from the game’s organizers, UEFA: “In the lead-up to the game, the turnstiles at the Liverpool end became blocked by thousands of fans who had purchased fake tickets which did not work in the turnstiles.
