PARIS - Liverpool city region mayor Steve Rotheram said on Thursday that the day of the Champions League soccer final turned from a"dream to a nightmare" due to crowd disorder, and added he had been robbed of his personal possessions at the event. "The day gradually transformed from a dream into a nightmare," Rotheram told the French Senate, as senators continued their investigation into trouble at the game.
