UEFA have attempted to gloss over the chaotic scenes which preceded last season’s Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid in their technical report of last season.
Thousands of expectant fans descended upon Paris back in May, with the two European heavyweights going toe-to-toe to be crowned the best side in the continent. Madrid would ultimately run out 1-0 winners, but the game itself was marred by dangerous crushes and heavy handed police tactics outside the Stade de France.
The game was delayed by almost an hour as supporters travelling from Merseyside were aggressively cattled by officers with many sprayed by tear gas.
