Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher says his family suffered tear gas as they left the Stade de France on Saturday evening.
Liverpool lost 1-0 to Real Madrid in the Champions League final and Carragher has blamed UEFA after Europe's showpiece event was marred by chaotic scenes in Paris as the start of the match was delayed by over half an hour.
“Tough one to take last night but credit to Real Madrid, their name was on the cup after the CL run they've been on," Carragher wrote on Twitter on Sunday morning. “@LFC have lost 4/63 this season so you can't really ask for much more than that. Friends & family tear gassed on the way out, shocking set up @UEFA."
Tear gas, pepper spray, batons and shields were used by the French police to disperse supporters ahead of kick-off as Liverpool fans struggled to get into the stadium. UEFA blamed the trouble on supporters attempting to gain entry with “fake" tickets.
