France's interior minister blames JURGEN KLOPP for the Champions League final mayhem... after the Liverpool manager told the club's fans ahead of Real Madrid defeat that Paris is 'big enough to go without a ticket'

Jurgen Klopp is partly to blame for the chaos that engulfed Saturday's Champions League final -according to France's interior minister - after encouraging Liverpool fans to flock to Paris whether they had tickets or not.

Chaotic scenes outside the Stade de France saw supporters with tickets having to wait in enormous queues, before French police sprayed tear gas at scores of peaceful fans - including women and children - waiting outside the gates.

French police however blamed Liverpool fans for the disruption before Gerald Darmanin sensationally claimed up to 70 per cent of tickets sold were fakes, and that between 30,000 and 40,000 English fans at the ground were carrying forgeries.
