Former Newcastle United and Sunderland defender Alan Kennedy has shared his traumatic version of events after the shambolic Champions League final last weekend. The showpiece between Real Madrid and Liverpool was tainted by ugly scenes outside the Stade de France before and after kick-off.
The organisation of the UEFA spectacle has been criticised after the kick-off was delayed due to large crowds unable to enter the stadium. Liverpool fans have accused French police of teargassing them as they attempted to enter the venue with plenty of time to spare before the start of the game.
French authorities have dubiously claimed 70 per cent of Liverpool fans showed up with fake tickets and have criticised supporters for their conduct before the game. Kennedy was one of many panicked Liverpool supporters stuck outside the Paris stadium and has recounted his first-hand version of the "frightening" event.
