FOOTBALL fans, politicians, and UK authorities have slammed the policing of Liverpool's Champions League final in Paris after people were tear-gassed and involved in violent clashes.
The Reds lost to Real Madrid 1-0 at the Stade de France, just north of the city, on Saturday evening.
However, shambolic scenes outside the ground saw supporters with tickets made to wait in huge queues, before French police used tear gas.
Some were kept out of the stadium for large swathes of the first half and fans spoke of officers pointing guns at them after the game.
People spoke of their disgust at seeing elderly fans and children caught up in the mayhem, which a Liverpool supporters trust dubbed "shambolic and extremely dangerous"
Liverpool defender Andy Robertson said it had "not been well organized", adding that many of the players' families and friends were caught up in the scenes.
