French media not accepting government claims about Liverpool fans

French media and journalists are continuing to question the narratives from senior government ministers about what went wrong at Saturday's Champions League Final in Paris.

The front page of today's Liberation newspaper features an image of interior minister Gérald Darmanin - who has claimed as many as 40,000 Liverpool fans turned up for the game with fake tickets after an 'industrial and organised fraud' - with a pinocchio-style nose. The headline alongside it reads: "Darmanin remakes the match.'

The article goes on to state: "The Minister of the Interior persists and signs his version and continues to point the finger at British supporters. Across the Channel, the anger does not pass. Leaders, supporters and journalists demand an apology."
