Michael Owen “we’ve been in the stadium for 3 hours and we haven’t seen a hint of trouble”. Ffs, of course not. Those in the stadium are the ones that planned to get there early and had tickets

Tear gas being used outside the stadium now apparently :nono:

Bloody hell ! What should be a celebration of football at the highest level is fast becoming a G7 summit. :eek:

There were Twitter accounts on Thursday scoping out the security perimeters / arrangements at the ground so not surprised.

Look forward to France having some behind closed door games as punishment like England have got coming up

French police don’t mess about!

I can vouch for that a baton charged by Gendarmes outside Parc De Princes, bloody painful should for a week

5live reporter pepper sprayed. Oh dear. Awful organisation and policing. UEFA already blaming the Liverpool fans.

Should have had wide rings of ticket checks. People are people and authorities should anticipate this. Not hard. Euros was the clue to this plus 100k Liverpool fans in Paris.

Maybe UEFA should give fewer tickets to sponsors rather than just 25% to LFC and Real respectively.

To sum up the current situation in Paris #UCLFinal:

- 15K fans have entered the stadium WITHOUT buying tickets
- fans queuing outside for HOURS but still didn't get inside
- use of tear gas in areas with children
- kick off delayed for at least 15 minutes

Absolute joke

Just had a text from a 60+ Liverpool fan saying he's just been teargassed for no reason.

Kids too, and police stopping entry.

He asked how full the stadium was!

A few video clips on twitter of fans rushing turnstiles and ticketless fans getting in.

Yes. That was always going to happen. Anyway, the gates are closed now, thousands of empty seats in the stadium and thousands of Liverpool fans (with tickets) probably not going to get in.
