Liverpool FC fan's wheelchair became stuck in gate during 'horrific' final

Two disabled brothers have described their "horrific" experience at the Champions League final.

Samad Majid, a Liverpool fan and wheelchair user, said the conditions he and his brother were met with on their arrival at the Stade de France for the UEFA Champions League final were "horrific" and that it was "possibly the worst stadium" he's ever been to.

Samad and his brother Sahad said accessibility issues contributed to the nightmare experienced by fans that day, which saw them teargassed, mugged by local youths and forced into dangerous crushes as they tried to reach the game. Samad spoke about how his wheelchair became stuck between the barriers, and how "people would actually have to climb over the wheelchair" to get through.
