Liverpool fans were left struggling to get inside the Stade de France for the Champions League final against Real Madrid as scenes of chaos appeared online.
Huge queues of punters were seen outside the ground in Paris after the Liverpool team bus was also caught up in traffic.
Gary Lineker was amongst those who were caught up in the mayhem.
Kick-off for the game against Madrid was delayed by 36 minutes.
“Nightmare... horrendous queues just to get to first check, all the fans won’t get in at this rate,” one Liverpool fan told The Times.
Another Liverpool supporter tweeted: “Sort it out guys, people not getting in quick enough.
Long long queues and less than an hour till kick-off. Look at the ‘Pool side of the stadium it’s empty because they’re all outside!!!”
Gary Lineker tweeted 16 minutes before the original scheduled 8pm kick-off time: “Finding it impossible to get in the ground. This appears to be very dangerous. Absolute carnage.”
He went on to post 23 minutes later, with thousands of fans still stuck outside the ground at 8:10pm GMT: "I’m not sure it’s possible to have a more poorly organised event if you tried.
"Absolutely shambolic and dangerous. @UEFAcom".
And then immediately followed that up with: "They’ve just announced another 15 minute delay “because of the late arrival of fans. Utter b*******."
Speaking to AP while queuing up outside the ground, a fan said: “It’s absolutely horrendous. There’s a bottleneck down there and there’s literally a six-foot gap for maybe 20,000 Liverpool fans to get in.
“We are absolutely being pushed from pillar to post. I have an 82-year-old father in law here. And it’s just madness. I’m really sorry but there are just thousands behind us.”
The Liverpool end was noticeably patchy less than half an hour before kick-off as supporters struggled to get in.
On the field, Thiago’s fitness for the final looked to be in doubt. Named in the Liverpool starting line-up, his work in the warm-up raised questions about his availability. Naby Keita looked primed to step in.
