- Amelie Oudea-Castera repeats French claims of fake tickets
- Local youths also blamed for chaotic scenes at Stade de France
France’s sports minister has reaffirmed the French government view that Liverpool fans without valid tickets were responsible for the initial crowd control problems at the Champions League final, with problems exacerbated later by local youths trying to force their way in to the game.
Some French far-right politicians, such as Eric Zemmour, said the crowd trouble at Saturday’s match between Liverpool and Real Madrid was caused principally by local youths from the nearby Saint-Denis Paris suburb.
