[bestmen 2,818]

even Benzema could join  if he didn't join france because he has double nationality , according to the law of 2009

Third time ever that there is a Greek in the Champions League final (1971 and 2004 were the other times).

 

Ironically in 2004 our guy (Akis Zikos of Monaco) played the full 90 minutes but was not called up to the national team for Euro 2004. We actually had a lot of good players on that team which people from other countries are not aware of, it was our golden generation that underachieved for a long time and then when they finally did something they won the whole tournament

Small number of fans running through gates at Stade de France, security unable to stop them, lots of fans still to be allowed in #ChampionsLeague #liverpool #realmadrid pic.twitter.com/Do1cwPYlig

And if they make entrance available to everyone, you won't have to deal with people like these brainless Liverpool morons who try to get in without a ticket  

I do assume those people will be photographed and ID'd to make sure they don't get into any stadium anywhere for a good while

yeah, well, it looks more like the organizers messed it up big time, people without tickets are inside and people with tickets outside

 

 

Fans with tickets, locked out, tear gassed. Treated like dogs because the organisers didn't organise. #LFC 🔴 #UCLfinal pic.twitter.com/qXBzuo3qmH

Oh absolutely, it seems to be organized terribly  

 

But a large part of the blame does remain with people who have no ticket, but still jump over fences and whatnot to get in. Those people, who pretend to support team X even though they know their actions will get team X in trouble, are the root cause for problems

anyway the match looks is going to start now, so end of conedy, time to switch channels and watch something interesting

But it's a match between greats, how can you miss that!  

 

Spoiler

You know, one of the million faceless 'matches between greats' the UEFA wants and will have even more with the new format in a few years from now

From what I read the invading fans were french neutrals rather than fans of either team.
