Dozens arrested amid Champions League final chaos: French ministry theSun theSundaily Liverpool RealMadrid UCLFinal UCL

This grab taken from an AFP video shows the police intervening as fans climb the fence of the Stade de France before the UEFA Champions League final football match between Liverpool and Real Madrid at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, north of Paris, on May 28, 2022. AFPPIX: French police arrested dozens of people in Paris during the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid, which was marked by scenes of chaos that delayed the kick-off.

The delay to the game and the chaotic scenes outside the Stade de France in Paris -- where French police used tear gas to disperse fans -- was not what the French capital wanted just two years before it hosts the Olympics. European football governing body UEFA blamed “fake tickets which did not work in the turnstiles” for the 35-minute delay to the final.

However, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin pointed the finger at Liverpool fans, saying “thousands of British ‘supporters’ either without tickets or with fake ones forced their way through and sometimes behaved violently towards the stewards”.
