Abbey captioned the picture: "Feeling for the Liverpool fans after they were all treated so badly by the French authorities last night!! Here are my brother's eyes streaming after we got tear gassed whilst queuing up to get to get in to the stadium but happy to be in supporting Liverpool!!! Such a shame."
Hundreds of supporters claimed they were tear-gassed or pepper sprayed by French riot police as they tried to access the stadium. French police moved in as fans were funnelled outside closed gates for hours before the match.
Kick-off was delayed by 36 minutes in the French capital with the authorities blaming it on the 'late arrival of fans' in a statement read on the big screen inside the ground.
Merseyside Police officers deployed to work the match in Paris said the vast majority of fans behaved in an "exemplary manner". They added that fans arrived at the turnstiles early and queued as directed.
Upsetting images and video from Stade de France showed French police using pepper spray on supporters including young children and families. Despite thousands of fans arriving early and queuing for hours, many were not able to access the ground ahead of kick-off.
UEFA delayed the match by 36 minutes and in a public statement said the issues were due to "thousands of fans who had purchased fake tickets". UEFA's statement has been slammed by fans, journalists and pundits who attended the game. Liverpool FC also requested a formal investigation.
