British fans, politicians condemn Champions League final chaos

Champions League final, when French police sprayed tear gas on Liverpool supporters. Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis told Sky News on Sunday: "It is concerning to see that people either didn't get into the stadium or were ... treated with a very aggressive approach." Earlier the politician who oversees the sector, the Secretary for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Nadine Dorries, tweeted of "troubling reports" from the stadium.

A Liverpool MP from the opposition Labour Party, Ian Byrne, tweeted that "I've just endured one of the worst experiences in my life. Horrendous security and organisation putting lives at risk". Merseyside Police said in a statement that there were "distressing scenes at the match," where its officers were deployed.

The force insisted "the vast majority of fans behaved in an exemplary manner". Liverpool players were set to take part in an open-top bus parade through the city on Sunday afternoon despite losing in Paris. Police said the city would be "very busy".
