It was like playing a game of FIFA
The camera angle for the Champions League final at the Stade de France caused a lot of controversy on social media, with viewers complaining that is was 'shocking'.
Liverpool's clash with Real Madrid was
delayed by 36 minutes because of "security reasons", with pictures and videos emerging online of fans being tear gassed and denied entry into the stadium.
Several fans were also seen
climbing perimeter fences and attempting to run past security. A message appeared on the big screens inside the ground stating the delay was because of the 'late arrival of supporters'.
Once the game kicked off, the camera angle became another topic of discussion on social media - with viewers and fans complaining that it kept zooming in and out.
