The fans who faced long lines and tear gas as they tried to get into the final have said their treatment was disgrace.

The kick-off was delayed by 35 minutes due to security issues and a build-up of fans.

One supporter said he had to protect his disabled son from pepper spray, while another said he saw police punching people as they tried to enter.

The Real Madrid-Liverpool match at the Paris stadium did not start until after 2 o'clock.

A small group of supporters tried to climb over security barriers as police outside fired tear gas.

It was the worst European match that the police had experienced, but fans behaved well in shocking circumstances.

The situation was described as "shambolic and extremely dangerous" by a group of fans.

Tom Whitehurst said after arriving at the ground, he had to get his disabled son out of the way.

He said that the treatment of supporters by Uefa and the police was a disgrace.

There were people with tickets who arrived two-and-a-half hours early, who were charged at by riot police with shields, and fans who were indiscriminately pepper-sprayed.

Kevin and James told the radio station that they had been queueed and then there were people trying to rush the gates.

They said the police tried to tear gas people.

Tyler said he arrived with his friends two hours before the game.

He said police officers were throwing people out, punching people and doing everything they could to stop them from getting in.

There were people in wheelchairs and old men with walking sticks.

Ian Byrne, who was at the game, said in a statement that he had had one of the worst experiences in his life.

He said the security and organisation of Uefa put lives at risk.

Henry Winter, the Times' chief football writer, said it was a complete mess and it was fortunate that we weren't talking about a major disaster.

He said Uefa lied about the late arrival of fans and the fans booed it when it was repeated, because they knew it was a lie.

He said that the whole thing was frustrated by what the police were doing.

Poor stewarding and twitchy police were all issues.

It was disgusting to treat people like that.

The families of the players had had difficulties getting into the stadium, while the defender Andy Robertson said he gave a ticket to a friend who was denied entry.

I assure you that it wasn't a fake, he said his friend got told it was.

It was a mess.

Uefa said it was sympathetic to those affected and would review the situation with the French police and the French Football Federation.

Thousands of fans who had purchased fake tickets were blocked from entering the turnstiles.

The build-up of fans trying to get in was created by this.

The police dispersed the crowd with tear gas and forced them away from the stadium.

French police said fans with fake tickets tried to force their way into the stadium, but the rapid intervention of officers allowed the return to calm.

The spokesman said that they were able to dispersal fans without difficulty.
