Moment nine-year-old fan wiped tear gas from eyes after being targeted by police at Champions League final: Fury as UEFA and French ministers blame 'ticketless fans' for chaos that saw 68 arrests and 174 people 'hurt' after being pepper-sprayed by cops

A Liverpool fan who was caught up in the Champions League final chaos has described it as a 'war zone' after he and his son were tear gassed by police.

Author Carl Clemente, who has been supporting Liverpool for more than twenty years and travelled all over Europe to see the side, said he was left 'shocked' by the scenes that were played out on the streets of the French capital.

His nine year-old son Carlos was left terrified and had to wipe tears streaming from his eyes after they were caught up in tear gas fired by police at rampaging local Paris thugs.
