Organizers have announced that the Champions League final, which is played at the Stade de France, will begin at 10:30 p.m., after English fans caused major problems in Paris, Gazeta Sportulor reports.
The match between Liverpool and Real Madrid was scheduled to start at 22:00, but the organizers have big problems with the fans of the English team, who are outside the stadium.
Thousands of Englishmen are still at the gates of the Stade de France arena, where a huge crowd has been created, writes the quoted source. Due to the heavy traffic, which also delayed Liverpool’s bus, the organizers decided to postpone the final by 15 minutes for the first time, later announcing that the match will start at 22:30, ie with a delay of 30 minutes.
French police have arrested several Englishmen after numerous ticket thefts, as well as attempts to jump the fence around the arena to enter the stands. The tense situation also affected the brother of Joel Matip, Liverpool defender. Marvin was forced to leave the arena area with his family, including his pregnant wife, after law enforcement used tear gas.
