  2. 'It was an absolute disgrace'published at 07:43 British Summer Time 29 May 2022

    BBC Breakfast

    Liverpool fan Tom Whitehurst on BBC Breakfast: "The treatment of supporters by Uefa and the police was an absolute disgrace. They were indiscriminately pepper sprayed and there were people with tickets, who arrived two and a half hours early, who were queuing up and they were charged at by riot police with shields. I had to guard my disabled son out the way - it was an absolute disgrace."

    The organisation of the Champions League final at the Stade de France in Paris was a "shambles", according to Liverpool defender Andy Robertson.

    Uefa delayed kick-off by more than half an hour for "security reasons", adding the problem was thousands of fans trying to get in with fake tickets.

    Robertson says he had given a ticket to a friend but he was denied entry for the game which Real Madrid won 1-0.

    "One of my mates got told it was a fake which I assure you it wasn't," he said.

    "It was a shambles really," the Scot told BBC Sport.

    French police said fans with fake tickets had tried to force access to the stadium but "the rapid intervention of the police allowed the return to calm".

    They added they were able to disperse fans "without difficulty".

    They also said there were no major incidents at fan zones in the city, although 500 people were moved on from a bar near the Liverpool fanzone at Cours de Vincennes.

    UEFA

    Here is Uefa's statement on the issues outside the ground:

    "In the lead-up to the game, the turnstiles at the Liverpool end became blocked by thousands 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.

    "As numbers outside the stadium continued to build up after kick off, the police dispersed them with tear gas and forced them away from the stadium.

    "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."

  8. 'A miserable night on every level imaginable'published at 07:16 British Summer Time 29 May 2022

    Liverpool's magnificent season once offered up the tantalising prospect of a historic quadruple only to end amid the chaos of Paris with a lop-sided mixture of emotions.

    This was a miserable night for Liverpool and their supporters on every level imaginable as Real Madrid did what they do best and won the Champions League for a 14th time.

    Real's 1-0 win, secured by Vinicius Junior's 59th-minute winner, etched coach Carlo Ancelotti's name into the history books indelibly with his record fourth triumph as a coach in this tournament.

    For Liverpool, it capped six days of desperate disappointment after missing out on the Premier League to Manchester City by a single point then losing to this experienced, street-smart Real team.

  9. Real stretch further clearpublished at 07:12 British Summer Time 29 May 2022

    Last night saw Real Madrid win a record-extending 14th European Cup.

    This might be the most remarkable yet considering they've beaten Paris St-Germain, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool along the way.

    Last night was potentially their most accomplished performance in the knockout stage considering their rescue jobs in the last 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals.

  10. Vinicius' goal the difference in Parispublished at 07:08 British Summer Time 29 May 2022

    BBC Sport chief football writer

    Liverpool's bid to claim the Champions League trophy for the seventh time ended in bitter disappointment as Vinicius Jr's second-half winner gave Real Madrid victory in Paris.

    Jurgen Klopp's side ran into a one-man wall of defiance as Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois produced one of the great individual performances to thwart Liverpool time and again.

    Mohamed Salah, seeking revenge for his early departure through injury in the 2018 final against Real, was denied six times by Courtois who was simply unbeatable.

    The victory also sees Carlo Ancelotti make history by becoming the first coach to win a fourth Champions League title.
