Andy Robertson criticises UEFA over "fake ticket" claims after Champions League final chaos

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson hit back at claims about supporters attempting to enter the Champions League final with "fake" tickets.

Kick-off in the match at the Stade de France was delayed after supporters were unable to get into the stadium for the scheduled start time. This was despite reports from attendees about having arrived hours before the game was due to begin.

Robertson, who was playing in his third Champions League final for the Reds, even claimed a friend entering with a ticket provided by the club was accused of having a fake ticket, while UEFA themselves cited "fake tickets" when explaining the scenes. The former Hull City man sympathised with Paris up to a point, with the host city handed the final after it was taken away from original host St Petersburg, but said things should still have been organised "a lot better".
