Thousands of fans of Jurgen Klopp’s men faced a lengthy wait to get into the Stade de France in Paris, with tear gas being used by security officials and supporters forced to climb ramps due to the amount of time taken to complete security checks.

With kick-off delayed on three occasions past the 8pm schedule, Cabello’s performance before the game was booed by those in the ground in a bid to slam UEFA for their organizational shortcomings before hand.

John Cross of the Daily Mirror wrote: “With so much chaos outside, it rather sums up the utter contempt for fans to press ahead with the opening ceremony. Shameless.”

Carnage before the biggest game of the European football calendar forced UEFA to push the game from an 8pm scheduled start to beyond 8:30pm BST.

Even with that delay, many fans were seen outside the ground with empty seats inside.
