Shireshead & Forton Cricket Club secretary gassed twice at Champions League final in Paris

Liverpool fan Angela Murphy was filmed at the Stade de France, saying to the BBC: “I’ve got really bad asthma and I’ve been teargassed twice. I’m really really struggling.”

Liverpool supporters described the scenes before their club's Champions League Final match with Real Madrid as "an absolute disgrace".

Fans travelled to France for the game, but there were distressing scenes before kick-off as French police fired tear gas into groups of supporters.

European football's governing body, UEFA, said "thousands" of Liverpool supporters tried to gain access to the stadium with fake tickets.

Merseyside police, whose officers were deployed in Paris, has insisted the fans' behaviour was "exemplary" in shocking circumstances.

Lancashire Post journalist Mike Hill was caught up in the scenes of chaos ahead of Liverpool’s Champion’s League final defeat against Real Madrid.
