Real Madrid have issued a statement condemning the events around last Saturday’s Champions League final saying some of their supporters had to spend the night in hospital because of violent attacks in Paris.
Sportsmail reported on Monday that Madrid fans had similar horror stories to their Liverpool counterparts and the Spanish club are now requesting answers as to why the final was held at the Stade de France and why spectators were left at the mercy of thieves who preyed on them before entering and leaving the venue.
Liverpool and Madrid fans both told of a significant number of robberies outside the ground before and after the game, in addition to the bottle-neck troubles that Liverpool supporters experienced for up to three hours prior to the game.
