I thought Kim Jong Un was in the crowd but it turned out to be the Brazilian Ronaldo.

Did I hear correctly? Gareth Bale gets a winners medal? For two appearances totalling seven minutes? That is fucking hilarious.

Next to the other two, that premier league trophy looks even more like something you might be offered for buying £200 of fuel at an Esso station.

For the inaugur.... the first PL season the winners were given mini models of it instead of winner's medals, until they all complained that it is a shit idea that nobody wants, so the PL went back to medals.

£200 of fuel

Liverpool v Real Madrid: Champions League final kick-off delayed for 'security reasons'

Liverpool have called for an investigation into the "unacceptable issues" faced by fans which led to their Champions League final against Real Madrid being delayed.

Uefa delayed kick-off by more than 30 minutes, citing "security reasons".

The match at the Stade de France in Paris did not start until 20:36 BST, with Real beating Liverpool 1-0.

Police outside the ground fired tear gas as a small number of supporters tried to climb over security barriers.

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson said the organisation of the match was a "shambles".

Merseyside Police's matchday officers tweeted that it was "the worst European match I've ever worked or experienced".

They added: "I thought the behaviour of the fans at the turnstiles was exemplary in shocking circumstances. You were not late 100%."

Champions League final: Robertson calls organisation 'a shambles'

Liverpool fans' group Spirit of Shankly said the situation was "totally shambolic and extremely dangerous."

Pictures had emerged in the build-up of huge crowds of fans queuing to get in.

Many claimed they had been at the stadium hours before kick-off but were stopped from getting into the ground.

"We are hugely disappointed at the stadium entry issues and breakdown of the security perimeter that Liverpool fans faced this evening at Stade de France," the Anfield club said in a statement.

"This is the greatest match in European football and supporters should not have to experience the scenes we have witnessed tonight.

"We have officially requested a formal investigation into the causes of these unacceptable issues."

European football's governing body Uefa said it was "sympathetic to those affected by these events and will further review these matters urgently together with the French police and authorities, and with the French Football Federation".

"In the lead-up to the game, the turnstiles at the Liverpool end became blocked by thousands of fans who had purchased fake tickets which did not work in the turnstiles," it explained.

"This created a build-up of fans trying to get in. As a result, the kick-off was delayed by 35 minutes to allow as many fans as possible with genuine tickets to gain access.

"As numbers outside the stadium continued to build up after kick-off, the police dispersed them with tear gas and forced them away from the stadium."

French police had urged fans not to force entry with tweets 20 minutes before the game was scheduled to begin.

As kick-off approached, large areas of empty seats could still be seen inside the ground.

Outside, some fans were seen climbing perimeter fences or attempting to run past security. Riot police were also in attendance.

Liverpool players emerged to warm up again at 20:06, with messages on the big screens inside the stadium stating the delay was because of the late arrival of fans.

Liverpool FC media bias again, the whole football community is sick of it....

[cyrille]

That was just a bit obvious, even for you.

[hallelujah]

All credit to Real Madrid for the run they had to the final.

They beat the Champions of France, the Champions of Europe, the Champions of England...and the Carabao Cup winners.

They boo the national anthem.
They proclaim they're "Scouse, not English."
They attack City's team coach.
They throw coins at disabled fans.
They send death threats to their own players
They sent threats to Pickford, forced him to move to Manchester for his own safety.
They turn up to matches without tickets.
They storm the gates in Sheffield and forced the police to allow them in to Hillsborough.
They have the blood of 39 fans on their hands from Heysel & celebrate in the anniversary.
They climbed walls to get into Everton match.
They climbed walls to get into Paris match.
They were invited to go to Paris by a grinning Jurgen without tickets.
And THEY want an investigation into why police used tear gas?
And They're asking the British institutions they boo and deny being part of to investigate?

Isn't it about time the media, politicians and football associations investigated the inbred, bin dipping scum mentality within their fanbase and actively banned them from travelling beyond Merseyside?
