Panic swept through the crowd watching the European showpiece, with three spectators left seriously injured as those around them fled the area

Over 1,500 people were injured as panic swept through a crowd of Juventus supporters watching the Champions League final in Turin on Saturday.

A fan zone was set up to allow those unable to get to the game in Cardiff to take in the European showpiece as the Bianconeri faced Real Madrid.

In contrast to the excitement which filled the area before the game, the end of it was followed by a wave of fear as a stampede ensued.
