Supporters ‘tear gassed’ and denied entry to Champions League final in Paris

There were reports of "chaos" and a "big bottleneck".

Fans were reportedly tear gassed outside the Stade de France and denied entry to the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid. Kick-off was delayed by 15 minutes as supporters making their way to the stadium for the match were caught up in "chaos" and a "big bottleneck". According to reports, the gates were shut with a host of fans still waiting to get into the ground, with Andy Kelly tweeting: "Fans queuing outside with tickets for a gate that’s been shut for no reason just been tear gassed. Throughly unpleasant experience and so dangerous. This isn’t how fans should be treated in a civilised society. Unacceptable". https://twitter.com/andyk_livnews/status/1530622804248387584?s=21&t=ppqlC5Yt9hrbxHrku_O5mQ Video footage shows thousands of fans situated outside the stadium, seemingly being stopped from gaining entry. https://twitter.com/TheAnfieldWrap/status/1530622382712422400 https://twitter.com/PaulSenior1/status/1530624175718776832 Sergios Santos wrote: "I've been to quite a few Champions League, Euro Cup and World Cup finals. What is happening at the Stade de France I have never seen before. There are groups of French around the stadium attacking and robbing the fans. I'm not talking about hearsay, I've seen it myself." https://twitter.com/Santos_Relevo/status/1530622770916343808 Mark Ogden tweeted a video of supporters being pepper sprayed outside the Stade de France, with many covering their eyes. https://twitter.com/markogden_/status/1530630002793922561?s=21&t=45p4efJE8WoGx8XfFKbgSQ
