Liverpool chief executive Billy Hogan has said treatment of the club's fans attending the Champions League final in Paris against Real Madrid on Saturday was "unacceptable" and has demanded a "transparent investigation" by UEFA.
The match, which Madrid eventually won 1-0, was delayed by 30 minutes amid chaotic scenes outside the Stade de France as thousands of Liverpool fans were stuck outside and subjected to pepper spray and tear gas by local police.
