Minister Oudéa-Castéra said that Liverpool fans caused chaos by blocking the turnstiles, and that some French football fans forced the doors to aggravate the problem.
Oudéa-Castéra also said that they learned a lesson from what happened, adding that “I am not worried” about the Olympics and Paralympic Games to be held in France in 2024.
British Minister of Culture, Media and Sports, Nadine Dorries, stated that the events in Paris were extremely worrying and asked France to initiate an investigation.
The Champions League final, in which Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 1-0, started 36 minutes late due to the chaos outside the stadium before the match.
The use of tear gas and tear gas against some Liverpool supporters, who were waiting to enter the stadium, by the French police drew reaction.
Liverpool fans are angry with the French police. “The attitude of UEFA and the police towards the fans is disgraceful,” said supporter Tom Whitehurst, speaking to the BBC.
Speaking to the BBC, Liverpool Mayor Joanne Anderson stated that the French police behaved in an “absolutely disgusting” manner, that the fans with tickets could not enter the stadium, and tear gas was sprayed at the Liverpool fans who were shouting anti-authority slogans outside the stadium.
Andy Robertson, one of Liverpool’s players, said that a friend he gave tickets to was not allowed into the stadium “on the grounds that the match ticket was fake”.
BBC Sports Correspondent Nick Parrott commented, “It was the most surprising experience I’ve ever had in a football match,” and said that the French, who forced the entrance, blocked the ticketed fans.
