French police have come under scrutiny after accusations of an ‘extremely hostile’ attitude towards Liverpool fans around the Champions League final at the Stade de France in Paris.

Footage circulated online of police using pepper spray and teargas on fans, seemingly unprovoked. The game’s kick-off was delayed by 36 minutes amid security concerns that Uefa initially blamed on the lateness of Liverpool fans and the French government are now blaming on an influx of fake tickets. An investigation is being launched to determine exactly what happened.

You voted for Macron. Now you earn what his elites sowed.
The Olympics are going to be an amazing event ??
The tone of the Guardian's video here contrasts markedly with the BS video it posted about the Europa League final 2 weeks ago when the happy carnival atmosphere generated by Eintracht and Glasgow Rangers fans was similarly tarnished by police heavy-handedness and stadium disorganisation / confiscation of personal possessions, including medication, on a whim. I wonder why that is?
Scouse got no ticket to ride
Scouse got no ticket to ride
But he don't care.
i'm french
i feel so sorry for liverpool's fans… and what happened is a shame for us
i'm not surprise at all for the police behavior
boycott the Olympic Games in Paris. This is the best sanction you Brits can give in retaliation of this chaotic organization.
I am French and this is further proof that our government is one of the worst we have had.
The french police is not responsible for this! Massive unchecked migration is! Are you all blind???
Boycott the Olympic games !
The whole mass mugging thing is especially disturbing. It’s a bit like the Rio Olympics, where gangs of youths were just preying on people right out in the open.
The French hate the English. This time Liverpool fans got it but it could have been any English team's fans. The thought that people within the UK will in the next few years want us to rejoin the EU, give up our sovereignty to be ruled by the French.
01:14 I know the kind of people, which join these "special" forces. They are not that we'll educated, they want action and they don't ask questions.
De-escalation was taught in the 90s, it's the same in Germany.
This mess was produced in long terms on purpose. The EU has become a police state where the police forces shows 0 tolerance to it's citizens. This is a mistake and will destroy the European ideals.
What a surprise, the Guardian fails to mention one rather important aspect of the events. Even Thiery Henry saw this coming.
Paris is Africa
Urgence FREXIT + STOP immigration !!!
WE THE WORLD SEE YOU FRANCE!!!
Je suis désolé pour les supporters britanniques qui ont vécu un terrible week-end à Paris…Pardon
As a french this is the reflect of our society : hyper violence everywhere and no Justice !
Las Olimpiadas francesas serán igual de bonitas que esta final : agresiones, robos, la policía que no hizo NADA, políticos franceses mintiendo, etc
oh well they lost
The wonders of unrestricted immigration and racial diversity… can't even hold a football match. Disgraceful.
Search for this video: Anything goes – What Really Happened Before the Champions League Final
Show the real footage it was the African and Middle Eastern refugees from the hundreds of thousands tents they live in right beside the stadium who tried to strom the ground and Rob fans. The real footage is there for all to see. Then the French police went and tier gassed law abiding Liverpool fans who had tickets and were causing no problems. They would rather blame LFC fans that addmit the real problem. This is Liverpool's 3rd champions league final in 5 years and funny enough no problems from Liverpool fans in the other 2 finals that weren't played right beside of hundreds of thousands of refugees
Not the police's fault. They can't defend themselves or defend people without being arrested or judged. There is no organization because french system doesn't accept reality about immigration. France do not accept to opress arabians et africans people – even though they are the ones making fuss in our country. So police cannot do anything.
I am French and born in France.
I hate what my country has become over time.
I don't know if it's the government, immigration but I don't like my country anymore.
I'm sorry you went through what we go through every day here.
I'm sorry that this country I hate so much ruined your party
France deserves nothing but disgrace
Cordially
Oh… Just wait until you see Chaos in the US. It gets worse than France.
SHAME AT DARMANIN AND MACRON THAT DONT EVEN COME IN PUBLIC AND GIVE A SPEACH
THE FRENCH POLICE IS ONE OF THE BEST THE PROBLEM IS OUR GOUVERNMENT MACRONISTE DARMANIN SHOULD RESIGN DEHORS MACRON ET SES HOMMES DE GAUCHE ET WOKISTES
Tout cela a cause de notre gouvernement Macroniste pas des Anglais qui sont juste venu voir le match en paix!!! Arrêtons cette immigration massive qui ne s'assimile pas dans notre belle France! HONTE A DARMANIN ET SON GOUVERNEMENT
I’m SHOCKED no one DIED
No mention of the African immigrants, the people who are responsible for the trouble.
France is a African country now , come never for tourism.
It’s really shameful, Im French and our government doesn’t want to apologize to the English families…
What a disgrace….respect to the man at 1:18
I’m french and as many of french people I am so ashamed of what happened here……notre gouvernement doit s'excuser pour ce qui s'est passé et plus encore pour avoir tenté de faire porter la responsabilité sur les fans de Liverpool !!! French government must apologize for this !!
Magrebies …
