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