Champions League Final Live: Liverpool vs. Real Madrid | Nikhilodien

The Spanish champion is seeking its record 14th European title and Liverpool its seventh. But kickoff has been delayed because of a bottleneck of fans outside.

Thousands of Liverpool fans are still stuck outside the stadium choking on pepper spray as the opening ceremony, starring Camila Cabello, incongruously begins on the stadium's playing surface. A steward has confirmed that a substance was sprayed in the direction of supporters

The police are equipped with riot shields, helmets and pepper spray and have run toward a group of Liverpool fans. Many are holding tickets and showing them to stewards, pleading to be let in, and others are coughing and rubbing their eyes after the police indiscriminately sprayed them.

Outside, I just saw the cops deploy pepper spray on the fans.

Kickoff has been delayed another 15 minutes, and now is set for 9:30 in Paris (3:30 Eastern). The teams have returned to the field to warm up again, which is not an ideal way to prepare.

TV images still show huge patches of empty seats in the Liverpool end. Images from fans show closed gates.
