Andy Robertson slams UEFA as Liverpool stars' family caught up in 'horrendous' Champions League Final chaos

Scotland captain Andy Robertson has hit out at UEFA and the French police over their handling of the Champions League final.

Cops used tear gas on Liverpool fans who were trapped outside the the Stade de France with kick off in the season showpiece delayed for over half an hour.

Real Madrid won 1-0 to lift the trophy but Reds supporters have shared horror stories of congestion with large numbers stuck around around the perimeter for two to three hours.

But more concerning was the way authorities chose to deal with the situation.

French police inside the fence used tear gas on fans outside after Gate Y, one of the two main gates on a narrow walkway which 20,000 supporters were trying to access, was closed for up to an hour in the lead up to kick-off in response to the growing frustration of fans queuing to get in and being delayed by problems scanning tickets and security searches.

Liverpool star Robertson, now preparing for Scotland's World Cup play off crunch against Ukraine, revealed many of the players' families and friends were caught up in the scenes and said: “It was a shambles really. To be honest, people were just making it up at times and panicking.

"Tear gas getting thrown at people was unacceptable. It was horrendous for our fans and all families that have been through it as well.

"It wasn't a nice experience, not a nice final to come to. The Champions League should be a celebration but it wasn't that.

"Obviously the final wasn't meant to be here and whether the preparations were not as good as maybe they should have been - but I am sure in the coming days an inquest will go into that.

"You have to have some sympathy because this was thrown on Paris kind of the last minute with all that has gone on with
