'Absolute carnage' - Gary Lineker hits out at UEFA ahead of Liverpool final in Champions League

Gary Lineker has described the situation outside the Stade de France ahead of the Champions League final as 'very dangerous' and taken aim UEFA for their organisation.

UEFA confirmed just after 7.30 that tonight's final had been delayed after significant issues outside the ground. It follows numerous reports of organisational problems at the stadium, with scores of fans and journalists taking to Twitter to give their accounts.

Broadcaster Kelly Cates first tweeted: "Absolutely shambolic at the Stade de France. No way in, no way of knowing which way to go. Stay safe if you’re heading in. It has the potential to be very dangerous."

And following the game being delayed, Lineker took to Twitter, writing: “Finding it impossible to get in the ground. This appears to be very dangerous. Absolute carnage.”

Before the Match of the Day host added: "I’m not sure it’s possible to have a more poorly organised event if you tried. Absolutely shambolic and dangerous. @UEFAcom."

The ECHO's Ian Doyle earlier said: "It's actually stuck among people. Not very well organised for the #LFC team, whereas Real Madrid didn't seem to have many issues. They've been at the stadium a little while now".

The Reds coach is believed to have arrived at the ground just before 6.40pm. However, it appeared to get stuck in traffic on its way to the game.
