Liverpool fans have reacted to the chaos and horrifying scenes that they experienced at Saturday’s Champions League final by putting up banners outside Anfield which slam UEFA and French Minister of the Interior Gerald Darmanin.
Supporters faced serious organisational issues outside the Stade de France before kick off, while videos have also emerged of Liverpool fans being pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed by French security forces and not allowed to enter into the stadium despite purchasing legitimate tickets. There were also horrifying reports of Reds fans being attacked and mugged by locals in Paris both before and after the game.
The game was delayed on three occasions due to the chaos, with UEFA originally blaming the late arrival of fans before later releasing a statement pointing the blame at the issues of fake tickets. Furthermore, at a press conference on Monday, French Minister of the Interior Darmanin blamed British fans as the cause of the unrest outside the ground.
