The Champions League final kick-off was delayed by more than half an hour as a result of chaos outside the Stade de France which saw tear gas and pepper spray used on Liverpool fans.
The stadium announcer confirmed at 8.46pm local time – 14 minutes before kick-off – that the start of the game had been delayed. It was later confirmed the match would kick-off at a revised time of 9:30pm local time, 8:30pm in the UK, but that was later pushed back by a further six minutes until 8:36pm BST at which time the game eventually resumed.
Real Madrid went on to win the game 1-0 via a goal from Vinicius Jnr but pre-game events will rightfully dominated the conversation in the days to follow.
