Horror at the Champions League Final as pregnant women and children are PEPPER-SPRAYED by Paris police: Furious Liverpool demand a formal investigation as UEFA blame chaos on 'thousands of ticketless fans'

Liverpool have demanded an inquiry after the club's supporters, including pregnant women and young children, were targeted with teargas by French police as chaos reigned supreme at Paris' delayed Champions League final.

As the match's 8pm kickoff approached, reports suggested 'hundreds of fans' without tickets attempted to storm the Stade de France ahead of the match, which saw kickoff postponed by 30 minutes amid the disarray.

French police were forced to create a narrow human funnel, prompting crush concerns, as they separated fans trying to enter the venue in concerning scenes harkening to the UEFA Euro 2020 chaos at Wembley stadium.
