Champions League: Disabled fans treated like animals - French Senate told

Disabled Liverpool fans have told an inquiry they were "treated like animals" amid the chaotic scenes at the Champions League final in Paris.

Supporters have described heavy-handed policing, organisational chaos and overcrowding at the game on 28 May.

A disabled supporters' spokesman told the French Senate one wheelchair user had to be lifted over locked gates by fellow fans as she tried to escape.

Ted Morris urged the French interior minister to resign over the event.

French minister Gérald Darmanin previously said only the English fans posed problems outside the stadium.
