Should have had wide rings of ticket checks. People are people and authorities should anticipate this. Not hard. Euros was the clue to this plus 100k Liverpool fans in Paris.

Maybe UEFA should give fewer tickets to sponsors rather than just 25% to LFC and Real respectively.

Oh yeah, that will encourage the sponsors to pile in with their cash

If they kick this off with thousands still outside, including loads of kids, god knows what will happen.

Listening to reporters on Five Live it seems the problems were caused by ticketless fans in red shirts, trying to force entry.

I've verified that from video footage in Twitter.

So no-one really knows what is properly going on.

5live reporter pepper sprayed. Oh dear. Awful organisation and policing. UEFA already blaming the Liverpool fans.

seeing them climbing fences, hard to say its not partially their fault.

looking like a complete shit show though, security cant control it. wonder why so many with tickets appear to have turn up so late, or has there just been that many ticketless blocking them?

Someone saying 15k ticketless fans have got in! That’s madness; half an Amex worth of fans so serious numbers. Can imagine a few 100 might manage it but 15k?

15K fans have entered the stadium WITHOUT buying tickets

If that’s true, that’s a disgrace and serious questions need asking.

There’s footage of a few dozen climbing over a fence, but if anything even close to 15k have got in without tickets then something major has gone wrong.

Yes. That was always going to happen. Anyway, the gates are closed now, thousands of empty seats in the stadium and thousands of Liverpool fans (with tickets) probably not going to get in.

I feel very sorry for those fans with tickets that won’t get in and criticise the authorities for letting it happen, however the fingers should be pointed at those inside without tickets. They know who they are and will be dining on it for years whilst also campaigning for the authorities to be brought to task.

There's some journos saying gates are shut but shouldn't be. Reports of bottlenecks etc.

Plus videos of people charging barriers.

Would imagine it's a combination of piss poor planning and fans trying it on.

Whatever the case there will absolutely be a majority of innocent fans in that madness who just want to watch a game of football.
