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.

Footage widely shared online captures the moment a policeman appears to collapse shortly after the gas was deployed outside the ground in Paris.

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.
