There are many questions about the organization of the Champions League final, Saturday May 28, at the Stade de France (Seine-Saint-Denis). A final marred by violence around the stadium and difficulties of access to the stands. An interministerial meeting will take place on Monday 30 May.

Ulcerated supporters who force the entrance to the Stade de France, an overwhelmed organization, police officers who use tear gas. The Champions League final on Saturday May 28 had to be postponed for more than half an hour, in front of cameras around the world. “It’s absolutely chaotic”, exasperated an English supporter. They were tens of thousands to be expected in the capital. However, stewards were lacking. Some spectators forced their way through, while others, armed with counterfeit tickets, also tried their luck.

A total of 105 people were arrested. English supporters and French authorities reject responsibility for these incidents. The British supporters encountered on Sunday morning at the Gare du Nord question the organization of UEFA and that of France. “We went to see finals in Madrid, in Rome, we have never seen such a thing, ever”, laments one of them. A ministerial meeting will be held on Monday to discuss these incidents.
