MARTIN SAMUEL: Tear-gassing A-listers has exposed all the LIES made about by Liverpool fans by UEFA and French politicians… dragging Kelly Cates, Gary Lineker and players’ families into the mayhem means something might at last get done

If there is one positive about events outside the Stade de France on Saturday night, it is that the police tear-gassed and terrorised all the right people.

Sir Kenny Dalglish’s daughter; the hero of the 1981 European Cup final; Joel Matip’s brother; Gary Lineker; the director of the women’s game for the Football Association; Thiago Alcantara’s partner; the Golf Correspondent of the Daily Mail; the family of Jason McAteer.

Not that they deserved it. Nobody deserved it. But the fact that they got it means thousands of ordinary supporters, who might otherwise not be believed, will now be heard.
