Liverpool fans are struggling to get inside the Stade de France for the Champions League final against Real Madrid.

A number of fans began tweeting in the hour before kick-off that huge queues meant they couldn't enter the ground in Paris and they now risk missing kick-off at 8pm. The large queues formed shortly after the Liverpool team bus was caught up in traffic.

"Nightmare... horrendous queues just to get to first check, all the fans won't get in at this rate," one Liverpool fan told The Times. Another supporter tweeted: "Sort it out guys, people not getting in quick enough. Long long queues and less than an hour till kick-off. Look at the 'Pool side of the stadium it's empty because they're all outside!!!"

Speaking to AP while queuing up outside the ground, a fan said: "It's absolutely horrendous. There's a bottleneck down there and there's literally a six-foot gap for maybe 20,000 Liverpool fans to get in.

"We are absolutely being pushed from pillar to post. I have an 82-year-old father in law here. And it's just madness. I'm really sorry but there are just thousands behind us."

The Liverpool end was noticeably patchy less than half an hour before kick-off as supporters struggled to get in.

The match has subsequently been delayed by 15 minutes to allow fans the chance to get into
