Tear gas used on Liverpool fans stuck in queues as Rio Ferdinand prays for safety

BT Sport confirmed that tear gas was used on Liverpool fans outside the Stade de France as the Champions League final was delayed.

A lack of organisation meant there were shambolic scenes outside the stadium as Liverpool vs Real Madrid was put back by 36 minutes. Long queues formed and the Liverpool end was noticeably patchy less than half an hour before kick-off as supporters struggled to get in.

A few ticketless fans were seen trying to gain access to the Stade de France, despite a permanent fence being in place around the perimeter. The game was due to kick off at 8pm, but it has been delayed by 36 minutes with the match set to get underway at 8.36pm.
