Joel Matip's brother Marvin and pregnant wife 'forced to flee' as tear gas used on fans

Joel Matip's brother Marvin and his pregnant wife were reportedly forced to flee for safety after fans were tear-gassed outside the Stade de France ahead of the Champions League final.

According to Sky Sport Germany, Marvin and his wife were trying to gain access to the stadium to watch Matip in action for Liverpool against Real Madrid when they became caught up in the chaos.

The couple were forced to take refugee inside a restaurant, with Marvin telling Sky Sport: "The organisation around and in the stadium is unworthy of a Champions League final! Using tear gas in areas with children and uninvolved fans is dangerous."
