A Liverpool FC fan caught in the crush outside the Champions League final said the screams of women and children were "haunting".
Ben Ward, a season ticket holder at Anfield, had a corporate ticket to attend the Champions League final at Stade de France after winning a competition through Just Eat. Ben, who has followed Liverpool home and away across Europe, told the ECHO the weekend was supposed to be an "experience of a life time".
But the 31-year-old, who now lives in Basingstoke, added it turned into the "experience from hell" after he was caught in the crush outside the stadium, teargassed by police and targeted by professional street gangs when trying to get back to the hotel on his own.
