Liverpool legend Alan Kennedy has opened up about his ‘frightening’ experience at the Champions League final and said he ‘came close to death’.

Liverpool fans faced chaos and horrifying scenes at May’s Champions League final at the Stade de France. Supporters faced serious organisational issues outside the stadium before kick off, as the game was delayed by 36 mins.

Videos 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.
