Liverpool Fans Cross to France on DINGHY For Champions League Final After EasyJet Flights Chaos
Liverpool FC face Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Paris tonight but easyJet Flights were cancelled yesterday due to a software failure Daily Mirror 28 MAY 2022 https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...ter-easyJe.jpg Some Liverpool FC fans took a dinghy across the English Channel to get to France A group of Liverpool FC supporters used a dinghy to cross the English Channel ahead of the Champions League Final in Paris. Paddy OToole's 12 mates hired a boat to travel to Saint Malo, France, after their easyJet flight to Paris was cancelled amid the airline's software failure. They left Huyton, Merseyside, and managed to get a flight to Jersey, where Paddy lives, before scrambling a boat across the water. That's despite none of the fans holding a ticket for the huge tie. Speaking to Liverpool Echo, Paddy said: "My lad Patrick’s mates Adam and Tom Dring who are from Huyton, had their EasyJet flight cancelled, so their Dad rushed them down to Heathrow to try a get a flight but there was nothing. They got a flight to Jersey last minute and they met up with us and asked could we get them to France. https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...ter-easyJe.jpg The group set off across The Channel"I felt sorry for the young lads so had to do something." The dad called his friend, Gary Brennans Rib, who owns Le Mourier, a expert swimming tuition company with a fleet of motor vessels. The pals hired Redbay Stormforce 950 to reach Saint Malo, some 40 miles across the English Channel. Video shows the dinghy skim over waves while the friends listen to music, including We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel, from a speaker. https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...ter-easyJe.jpg The friends posed for a photograph after the journey Paddy said: "We saw a few dolphins on the way and got the train to Rennes and then to Paris. A few more of are mates from Liverpool who live in Jersey heard we were going and joined on. "We haven't got a ticket between us." Between 50,000 and 60,000 Liverpool supporters are expected to arrive in the French capital by coach, train, car, plane and boat ahead of Liverpool's Champions League Final match against Real Madrid. Thousands arrived in Paris on Friday and started to take over the city's bistros, pubs and even the Eiffel Tower. Liverpool have reached the final having put together a near-perfect run, winning their six group games before beating Inter Milan, Benfica and then Villarreal in the knockout stages. Madrid’s route has been significantly less serene, with more than their fair share of memorable comebacks. |

Liverpool supporters were caught up in huge crowds as they tried to get into the ground in time for the 8pm kick-off against Real Madrid, with the match being delayed by 36 minutes. Fans were tear-gassed by police as things spiralled out of control while pop star Camila Cabello serenaded the supporters inside the stadium. Liverpool have demanded a "formal investigation" into what happened, with UEFA releasing a statement reading: "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. Liverpool issue statement demanding investigation after Champions League final chaos Gary Lineker slams "bull****" stadium announcement aimed at Liverpool fans "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. "UEFA is 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." Liverpool's statement read: "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. "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."

He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I have just been pepper-sprayed for the first time in my life. I have been to the Champions League final before and I have never been pepper-sprayed before.
