UCL Breaking News: Over 60 People arrested after UCL Final in Paris. (Details)

 


Police in Paris said to have arrested over 68 people after the UEFA Champions League final match, on Saturday night


Earlier the police force had stated that “a number of supporters without tickets for the match obtained fake tickets and disturbed the access to the Stade de France.”


The police added that these fans’ pressure to make it into the stadium resulted in a nearly 40-minute delay.


UEFA said that “the turnstiles at the Liverpool end became blocked by thousands of fans who had purchased fake tickets which did not work in the turnstiles.


“This created a build-up of fans trying to get in. As a result, the kick-off was delayed by 35 minutes to allow as many fans as possible with genuine tickets to gain access.”


UEFA confirmed that police dispersed fans with tear gas.


It added: “UEFA is sympathetic to those affected by these events and will further review these matters urgently together with the French police and authorities, and with the French Football Federation (FFF).”
