However, ahead of kick-off, there were reports of a 'bottlekneck' outside the ground, with thousands of Liverpool supporters attempting to make their way into the stadium.
Shortly before 6.30 pm, Telegraph journalist Sam Wallace posted on Twitter to say: "Chaos at the Stade de France on a big bottleneck on the ramp by gate U. Security guards overwhelmed and lots of fans shoved together. Very unpleasant experience".

The Liverpool end of the Stade de France was sparsely populated with around 45 minutes until kick-off, with pictures emerging on social media of fans queuing to gain entry.

As reported by Rob Draper, it was 'chaos' outside the stadium, with police 'funnelling fans into dangerously narrow routes'. He added that there was a 'dangerous crush building up behind'.

He also claimed that it was probably an 'overreaction to Euro 2020 final chaos and fans stampeding gates', but criticised the authorities for how they dealt with the situation.
