LONDON, May 29 — British politicians and fans today condemned the treatment of fans around the stadium before yesterday’s Champions League final, when French police sprayed tear gas on Liverpool supporters.today: “It is concerning to see that people either didn’t get into the stadium or were... treated with a very aggressive approach.
Liverpool Mayor Joanne Anderson tweeted: “I know many have had a distressing time,” adding that she supported the club’s “call for an explanation into what happened before kick off.” Former Liverpool defender Jim Beglin tweeted that after the match “organised gangs set about mugging departing fans” with “not a police officer in sight”.
Quite typical for British, it is always fault of others when the fans misbehave abroad. At least during the final of European Champions they could not blame the foreigners.
