French government ministers have been branded 'disgraceful' after doubling down on fake ticket claims and attempting to smear Liverpool fans over the problems at Saturday's Champions League Final.
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin today claimed thousands of Liverpool fans tried to jump over fences to get into the stadium, despite countless accounts, images and videos showing this not to be true. The minister said his government received a memo warning that thousands of British fans would attempt to force their way inside the Stade de France.
Mr Darmanin, appearing before the French senate today, has again been branded a 'liar' and a 'disgrace' for his claims by supporters and journalists who were on the ground at the Stade de France on Saturday night. And Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castera then provoked fury and disbelief as she suggested that Liverpool fans provided a 'very specific risk' to the authorities.
