I’m an Everton fan and I’m first with the banter but this is too much. Jokes about Hillsborough and Heysel are of very poor taste and luckily we didn’t have another disaster there yesterday. Rivalry aside, how in this modern age can a game of this magnitude, where the world is watching, not be policed correctly, it’s an actual disgrace. Uefa are a disaster waiting to happen. How are we still putting fans into closed up pens with people being pressed against fences? How are we keeping people for hours? All you have to do is open as many turnstiles as possible and keep the line moving, if anyones ticket doesn’t work you move them through to another area where a team check why your ticket doesn’t work, you don’t just stop and then hold up the queue because you are idiots that have one turnstile open for 20k fans. The only surprise is we haven’t woken up to hear of deaths at this event. A disgrace! French police, the staff and UEFA you should be ashamed of yourselves!

I’m a Man U fan and would normally put the boot in when it comes to the Scousers. Not this time. Disgraceful treatment of the game’s paying customers.

A day that was full of promise ended up a complete horror show both on and off the field. Paris 2022 can do one!

It sounds like everything was set up to deliberately cause serious harm. Before and after the match.

Shame on France after the match, Liverpool fans were attacked by ruthless gangs of thugs lacking in all decency, attacking men, women and children, it was pure terror for all of them, the police who should have protected them were negligent in their duty to take care of the innocent, they just didn't seem to care, there are many accounts of people who felt lucky to escape alive. I am personally not a Liverpool supporter, but also say,- we should be united, whichever club we support, in calling to account those responsible, in order to assure the safety of others and this badness never happens again

Jason mcateers story about what happened his wife and son is frightening so many of these storys been brushed under the carpet.

The Venue was changed with enough time to organize such an event. The French police, and others in charge, are clearly incompetent, and should not be allowed to hold such an event for quite some time.

Paris should be taken off the list of holding such events in the future.

UEFA wanted to play the game on time. LFC staff and mersey police pleaded. This decision saved lives. It was ready to blow. The saint denis animals were out of control. Do not go to the 2024 olympics

Basle, keiv, istanbul, and madrid, no problems with ticketless fans, or fake tickets, cos they had proper cordons around the ground, making sure that very few of these types of people got near the ground. The french failed to do this, 100s of locals and people without tickets where able to get right upto the ground, which hasnt happened in years, most major events weeding these people out before they get near the ground is basics

Seeing the pictures of the bridge, I got backflashes from the tragedy at the "Loveparade" in Germany, where people were exactly in such a situation. Panic started and in the end 652 people were injured and 21 dead. It is simply luck that that didn't happen and the calm behavior of the Liverpool fans! Imagine if it had e.g. 30 plus Celsius, people would have collapsed there in the middle of 20.000 people, no water or any medic around......the Uefa can be very very thankfull that they dont have blood on their hands.

i honestly felt that what was happening outside influenced the fans inside, reflected by jamie live and the players. It really felt like we were not ready to play but uefa went ahead with the Spanish opening show in spite of it.

Me and my daughter were teargassed twice, my daughter who works on the new main stand main entrance at Anfield was with me we got to the ground well over two hours before the kickoff and we are directed towards the ramp that lead up to gate A There was a crowd about 50 to 100 people deep and they the full width of the ramp and the crowd was stopped halfway up the ramp by a perimeter( waste height ) fence we had got to one side of the ramp and stood against a head height wall that ran the full length of the ramp, my daughter climbed up on to the top of the wall to try and see above the people to see what had happened and then the teargas was dispersed and a huge stampede of people (like cattle) came down the ramp towards us everybody experienced the burning Sensation of eyes and throat from the exposure to the teargas, we eventually went to the bottom of the ramp and asked the police officers there to show us a way to get to gate A he pulled a map out and us to go back up the ramp we told them we had just come from the ramp and had been teargassed and they looked at us and laughed and then told us to go back up the ramp because there was no alternative route to Gate A and that it was ok ,so we went for a second time up the same ramp and after a 15 minute or so we had the same experience a second time and we were showered with tear gas again , I am a Hillsborough survivor and I was fearful we were heading for another experience of the same magnitude my daughter was crying and obviously very distressed people all around me are coughing at sputtering with swollen eyes , I tried to work with the people around me to keep them calm and understand that there is more important things in life than getting in the ground We then eventually got through the stop gate and moved on to Gate A which was Another shambles Large capacity of people patiently waiting in a big snake queue trying to get through a couple of turnstiles well please we are checking tickets individually One at a time we could see to our right where Gates had been opened and people were rushing up the steps that lead to gate B Thankfully the kickoff was delayed on two occasions,We eventually got to our seats just prior to the kickoff after being around the ground for 2/3 hours

Sympathy for Liverpool fans from India

Sky sports litterly called the the muggers "local young boys" 😅

I am french, it's a shame for m'y country. French governement behaviour is very Bad. State scandale. Macron must apologize .

I knew there'd be problems when the French put Inspector Clouseau in charge of policing the event. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The only thing the authorities did right was to delay kick off. The rest of it was a total mess. Pathetic.

Not really hearing many issues from the Madrid fans side..

Something that stands out for me aside from the appalling treatment of football fans at the biggest showpiece game in club football. Where did Conor and his friends get their tickets from? They were forced to pay thousands of pounds online. Who was selling these tickets? UEFA? Or members of the ‘UEFA family’. There has to be a full independent investigation into the problems at all the UEFA finals this season.

His impression of conor was very good

No ticket cordon away from the ground, a bottleneck at the turnstiles, incompetent police viewing Liverpool fans as drunken, ticketless hooligans and the authorities trying to blame the Liverpool fans. Why am I getting a huge sense of deja vu?? It reminds me of something........

Tougher route to win in Europe?? Bayern Munich (three times) Barcelona, inter Milan and Juventus ...

Not being funny, but the fixture should be replayed, I know it won't, but I am positive 100% it affected the players, they knew what was going on and the way the players were on the pitch you just knew it was in their minds. I felt like everything that could be done to upset Liverpool was put in place. The Pitch, the police, the closing of the gates, the delay, the refs(both French on VAR as well) the opening being all spanish, they wanted Madrid to win. I even think the goal was offside, but they never showed the lines, it looked so offside.

Being there to see Ireland 🇮🇪 France never been so on your toes

It sounds like some people got in with fake ticket's and the people that had real ticket's got stopped because people had already went in with there ticket, could be Wrong

it was done in purpose

History repeating itself. Happened me in Athens at the 2007 Final. Disgraceful scenes again last night.

Follow United but not fanatically..brother is a pool fanatics..just giving a bit if a background..however I don't care who u are, it sounds like French police had a set against the "english" support..beggers belief that if u pay for tickets flights and accommodation, especially if u bring ur child, niece or nephew, this is a disgrace. I'd imagine after Hillsborough etc pool fans would be extremely conscientious when it comes to situations like this...hope things are different when it comes to Rugby WC 23?????

The Franchise should be banned from the rugby World Cup at the Olympics!

So, another controversy involving Liverpool FC fans…. Was there any controversy attaching to the Real Madrid fans?

Well the French failed their audition for high profile games for the foreseeable future

disgusting to do this to good familys n kids fans etc

Genuine question: did Real Madrid fans have the same experiences as Liverpool fans? If not, why not?

Apparently there were loads of muggings by locals

Imagine if even a small number of Liverpool fans had reacted violently to this treatment (it's almost like the police were baiting people for a reaction), the media would've had an absolute field day, ramming their beloved narrative of violent English football fans down our throats again, ad nauseam. It's almost as though someone wanted things to kick off, no pun intended.....

I'm a Liverpudlian and as much as the organization was a s...show I also have to give out to my fellow Scousers and it is this and this may upset a few...if you didn't have a ticket (legit) from a reputable vender and decided to show up in Paris (I don't care if you were there to maybe wing a ticket) you didn't have one, you contributed sadly last night to this debacle, there was 19 nearly 20k tickets available and yet probably 50 to 60k showed up...i don't know the exact numbers. How do you think this was going to play out eejits??? Have we not learnt a thing from 89....(that was a disaster brought on by the authorities) last night could have been a similar outcome. If you don't have a ticket (legit) then stay at home and watch it on TV like every other person...you embarass yourself by thinking this is how you go about things.

In 30 years time we will still be marking this terrible tragedy 😢

Saint denis is the problem, should have had it in Mogadishu

Macron's Gestapo got a taste for this during C0vid. Now they're doing it for fun.

It’s perhaps simply the turnstiles that were at fault giving false negatives.

seems Madrid had zero issues......... why

You'll wait a bloody long time to see the frogs organise anything!!

Stinks of a set up.

Seriously? paper tickets still ? Ridiculous

Best thing to happen was Liverpool loosing because of they’d have won, all the talk would have been about that and this would probably have been swept under the rug:

Whys it only ever happen to our fans? The pictures of too many fans inside the ground, eg fans sat on the steps without seats speaks volumes. Embarrassing being a Liverpool fan. I love football but not as much as these fans, they need to calm down. People take it all too seriously. Football hooliganism died in the 90s, Liverpool are the only club this keeps happening to though. I feel lucky I stopped going the match. Shame on you Connor, maybe stick to the F1 impressions from now on.

Very shady.

Very unlucky are Liverpool fans. Their angelic presence has yet again caused chaos and they have been victimised with absolutely no justification.

Ashamed of nothing. Offended by everything. It's never your fault!

Were Real Madrid fans peppered sprayed? If not, why not?

Never liked the French, knew there was a reason haha

The sins of thuggish English football hooligans come back to haunt them. Allez les gendarmes Français. Stop wingeing

This is a message to nobody in particular and to anybody for whom it resonates… I’m not going to try and generalize an entire country’s population because that would be very narrow minded on my part. That said, it seems to me that disorderly behavior and violence is a common theme among English soccer fans; yet all these English sports commentators, sports analysts, journalists…etc. always address a problem with they, them, those… and never start with taking a look in the mirror. If everything and everyone around you is always a problem, maybe you are the problem. Something to ponder…

From some of the videos it is clear that Liverpool supporters don’t know how to use bins anyway…..but it’s definitely an anti English stance by our EU neighbours. This is a good time for Irish people to stop supporting English Clubs and concentrate on our own….like it should be.

children and blind fans!

I think I am just wiser,I've never seen this obsession over football. Its just adulation of another human being. Another hobby would be better I feel. I've got a friend who's obsessed with football,I've never seen the point. Especially when things like this happen. Did any of the footballers actually care about the fans at this point.

The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, perception is everything and Liverpool fans have become Marmite for a lot of other fans of clubs. Given this game took place the day before the anniversary of the Heysel tragedy in 85 these scenes are unfortunate, whether we will ever find out what really happened is doubtful, the French police certainly appear to have over reacted at times. The RM fans accessed the stadium without any problems. Last week Glasgow Rangers to a sizeable amount of fans to Seville without any major problems, so something here has gone seriously amiss here. Fortunately no one has lost their life or been seriously injured. I expect each side will now blame each other, whether bus parade through Liverpool yesterday with the 2 cups they won on the anniversary of Heysel tragedy is seen as insensitive in Turin by Juventus supporters, not sure. Who is really to blame for his ? ?

30 years on they still complain 🧐🧐

Pool fans to blame

They claim they are not English not scouse. But their behaviour was very English. Fans climbing over the gates, breaking through barriers and rwndom attacks on Madrid fans. Also why do so many support British teams in Ireland? We have our own teams.

you should have walked on, walked on, with hope in your heart

I'm not a Liverpool football hater but I have seen what these so called Liverpool fans are like, booing prince William, their violence, the way they act in general and I don't believe what the Liverpool fans are saying about this. Let's see what the inquiry turns up before we rush to judgement, but I will say that there's a huge swath of Liverpool fans who are trouble makers.

Real Madrid,LiVARpool Conspired Super League VAR "Mistakes" go their way Heritage Clubs,Corrupt Clubs?😂
