A real fiasco. This is how the Champions League final, which took place last Saturday at the Stade de France in Paris between Real Madrid and Liverpool, is viewed.
Recall that the start of the game, which ended in a 1-0 victory for Real Madrid, was delayed by 35 minutes after thousands of Liverpool fans arrived at the venue without tickets or with fake tickets, forcing the police to intervene. who used pepper spray to disperse them.
Sports Minister Amélie Oudea-Castera already regrets the incidents and also apologizes to fans who were unable to attend the game despite having valid tickets.
“The priority now is to identify problems very accurately in order to learn all the lessons in order to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents in future major international sporting events,” he stressed.
However, Amelie Oudea-Castera did not spare Liverpool, accusing those responsible for the English club of “letting their fans go” in Paris, unlike what happened to Real Madrid.
On the part of the Paris police, according to a report sent to the Minister of the Interior, between 30,000 and 40,000 people were in the Stade de France over capacity, many of them with fake tickets. “It is urgent to identify those responsible for this massive fraud with false tickets, which could have very serious consequences for the safety of spectators both at the entrance and inside the stadium itself,” the message says.
