Champions League: Policeman collapses from tear gas as fans struggle to enter stadium

Liverpool have called for an investigation after thousands of supporters were held outside of the Champions League final before kick-off at the Stade de France, with tear gas, pepper spray, batons and shields used to disperse fans.

Kick-off in the showpiece event was delayed for over 30 minutes as fans were denied entry to the stadium on time, despite many showing their tickets to officers at a closed gate.
