Jake Humphrey responds after Gary Neville slams BT Sport Champions League final coverage

Chief BT Sport presenter Jake Humphrey has responded to Gary Neville 's criticism of their Champions League final coverage.

The Manchester United legend, who works for rival network Sky Sports, hit out at the broadcaster for not having a reporter live on the scene as Liverpool fans were tear-gassed, stranded in queues for hours and attacked by riot police prior to their side's deflating 1-0 loss to Real Madrid.

Amid the match being delayed three times due to issues with fake tickets - at least according to UEFA 's second statement after initially blaming "the late arrival of fans" - Neville quoted a tweet which read: "Surprised BT Sport don't have a team on standby outside of stadium, getting little to no sense of the major story from the broadcaster." The ex- England international then remarked: "Are you surprised? I'm not. They can't react or aren't agile to things like this happening."
