UEFA has apologised to Liverpool and Real Madrid following the troubling scenes witnessed before the Champions League final.
Reds fans were pictured being funnelled into a tight area prior to the game outside the Stade de France, which led to the match being delayed by more than 30 minutes. Many experienced difficulties getting into the stadium, despite queuing for more than two hours and holding valid tickets.
Upon announcing the delay to the game, UEFA displayed a message inside the ground that accused fans of turning up late - something fiercely criticised by onlookers and those in the middle of the chaos. The second time these claims were displayed, they were met by boos from Liverpool fans.
