“30,000 to 40,000 English supporters came to Stade de France without tickets or with fake tickets,” said France’s interior minister Gerald Darmanin
In an update today, following talks on the incident, France's interior minister Gerald Darmanin blamed "massive fraud at an industrial level" for the scenes outside the match that saw only half of Liverpool's fans make it inside for kick off.
He said between 30,000 and 40,000 travelling fans arrived at the Stade de France either without a ticket or with fake tickets. Shambolic scenes unfolded outside the Stade de France as fans with tickets were made to wait in huge queues before French police used tear gas and violent clashes broke out. Amelie Oudea-Castera told French radio station RTL: "What we really have to bear in mind is that what happened, first of all, was this mass gathering of the British supporters of the Liverpool club, without tickets, or with fake tickets.
