The French government has called an emergency meeting with football authorities and the police to examine what went wrong at the Champions League final in Paris between Liverpool and Real Madrid.
Large crowds built up outside the Stade de France stadium, with the start of the game delayed for more than 30 minutes.
There were chaotic scenes before, during and after the match, with Liverpool fans accusing the police of brutal and intimidating tactics, including the use of tear gas.
The UK government said the images of what happened were “deeply concerning”, while the Mayor of Liverpool who was at the game described the conduct of the police as “completely unacceptable”.
The French authorities said the problems were caused because many Liverpool fans had turned up with fake tickets.

I'm French and this events is the summary of what we live in France. Media cruelty, corrupted authorities, government that hates its own peaple. Macron and friends lies every day, and know they are lying but they don't fuck*ng car about democraty. We re-elected Macron because a huge brainwashing and manipulation are done on every television channel in France. But only 4% want this guy.
And let's be honest French police are absolutely F ing disgusting people I've been France even the police are nasty rude and just look down on people.
Football fans can throw bottles and all sorts at footballers but they don't like it back. I swear liverpool fans are just cry babies and from video it seems for once I'm actually right…
The french authorities got it wrong in every way possible and left police thugs to deal with it as they saw fit. It's only English fans so who cares? Fans told to get there early got there early and caused no trouble even though their patience was tested to the limits. Automated ticketing system didn't work. Hundreds if not thousands of fans with legitimate tickets who paid through the nose to travel to the biggest game of their lives had to go through all this and on top get beaten, tear gassed and robbed. Police were very brave beating and tear gassing women and children but nowhere to be seen when the French thugs turned up mugging and beating people. This about sums up the French for me. Will never ever go to that shithole city again. Someone has to answer for this. An absolute shambles. Also these jokers are hosting the rugby world cup next year and the olympics in 2 years time. What a joke!
If it was kicking off my child would be nowhere near the police, crowd etc
The French government said yesterday that all CCTV around the stadium has been "inadvertently" removed. This country doesn't even know how to hide the evidence of the Muslim invasion it suffered in its capital anymore, so they are destroying the videos.
Don't come in France for the Olympics Games. With the future economic troubles, you will get so bad if you come here. We need Robespierre today here.
Now you will understand the yellow vest. Régime Macron is criminal. Vive Robespierre ! Robespierre help us !
French police have decades of experience dealing with blacks and Arabs so they have learned the hard way…. Only really aggressive action will work
Last we forgot the hero's who helped free France from Adolf Hitler X and the Nazis X disgusting state of humanity disgusting state of affairs reamber when you people there there parents parents fought to fre France from slave labour or death camps short term memory loss hang yours heads in shame y disgusting disgraceful police and leadership sick of all

Yo estuve en el estadio. Los medios de comunicación de España (todos comprados por el gobierno de Sánchez, bufón y pelele del Foro de Davos, Bill Gates, Soros y Cia., igual que Macron), dijeron con repugnante manipulación, que los ingleses fueron los culpables por la falsificación de tickets. Lo que ocultaron fue que hordas de magrebíes robaron con extrema violencia con armas blancas, móviles, tickets y manosearon a niñas acompañadas de sus padres. Al terminar el partido fue peor. Ambas aficiones tuvieron que aliarse para defenderse de este putrefacto multiculturalismo de fronteras abiertas (6000€/mes nos cuesta cada menor no acompañado) que todos los gobiernos progresistas de Europa defiende, avala, subvenciona y permite para continuar con su delincuencia extrema a base de cuchilladas, violaciones y asesinatos. En España ya ocurre día tras día en cualquier ciudad y cualquier esquina. La hipocresía y cinismo del gobierno francés sigue ocultando y manipulando las evidencias y se remite a una patética investigación cuando ellos mismos saben que las pruebas son concluyentes.
Police brutality…..??? Did you see the visuals of hooligans mostly immigrants who brutalized the fans who were returning from the match?? This is horrendous reporting.
I'm sorry to all the people who experienced our mad authortitarian police. Here when you criticize it, you're automatically depict as an anarchist by the conservatives, hopefully this will make them think twice.
France never fails to entertain that country such a joke
Is only football ⚽️ relax ppl .. Jesus Christ
I'm French, I'm sorry for what's happened, I love you my dear British friends ??❤️????
Tear gaz? this is nothing, check the violence during the yellow vest protests people lost eyes, fractured skull, exploded hand.
The worst is the BAC, they behave like pigs for decades in poor quarters.
Worst part : politicians defend them.
I dont understand why france so often gets to host big sports events when they cannot provide safety. one time there is a terror attack, another time criminals attack fans… then there is police violence.. disgusting.
