Liverpool fans forced to run from French police after Champions League final

Crowds were forced to run from the French police in Paris after the Champions League final.

Thousands of LFC fans travelled to the French capital ahead the big match against Real Madrid on Saturday. ECHO reporter Charlotte Hadfield, who is in Paris, was near the Cours de Vincennes fan zone after the match when she said she had to run from police who began throwing cans of gas.

Charlotte said: "Riot police moved in a short time ago in this square and seemed to fire some sort tear gas which caused hundreds of fans having to disperse. It's not sure what prompted them to do that, but that was obviously quite distressing for fans having to run out of here quite quickly as the tear gas went into their eyes.
