Champions League viewers complain within seconds of BT Sport's coverage starting

BT Sport viewers were all saying the same thing as Liverpool faced Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

The match was delayed for a second time following major organisational issues outside the ground.

Initially, UEFA delayed the game for 15 minutes from a scheduled 8pm UK time start. But at around 8.08pm, it was confirmed the kick-off time was postponed until 8.30pm. Not long after, it was pushed to 8.36pm.

Following kick-off, BT Sport started their live match coverage, but viewers were quick to complain about the wide-angle lens being used.

Ian tweeted: "@btsportfootball why is the camera so far away from the pitch it’s like we are in the back row at the game it’s dreadful."

Another said: "@btsport What kind of camera angle is this?"
