Champions League Final: Fans Ejected For Trying To Enter With £5,000 Fake Tickets

One officer told them as they left: “If police say ‘stop’, stop.”

Asked what happened, the woman told the Press Association: “You don’t wanna know.”

She later added that she and her friend both tried to gain entry with fake tickets.

She said the other ticket, for the older man, was genuine.

The number of fans in the city far outnumbers the 16,000 tickets made available for the final.

Those not able to catch the match from inside the stadium will be forced to find a pub showing the football, after authorities decided the two designated fan zones should close just before kick-off, while officials ruled nowhere in the city centre should be able to show the game on a big screen.

Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson, who had written to his counterpart in Madrid to request a giant screen broadcast the match, said “UEFA guidance” was behind the decision.

He added in a tweet on Saturday evening: “Told 14,000 bars and restaurants and cafes open with screens.”

It came as Spanish police said they had arrested four Britons for violence on Friday evening. No further details were made available.
