    BBC reporter outside the ground saying Liverpool fans behaving themselves but are been pepper sprayed.

    BBC Journalist Nick Parrott is outside the ground in a personal capacity speaking to 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.

    "I was outside Gate Y which has been opening and closing repeatedly over the last hour and a half but nobody has been going through. The security staff on the other side advanced and sprayed pepper spray.

    "I have seen 10 fans trying to climb over fences. Gate Z is open but there does not seem to be any movement going in. I have never seen this sort of chaos at any match I have been to in a personal capacity.

    "The Liverpool fans are trying to move themselves back from these gates to try and get in but the authorities seem to be doing nothing. I came to get into the stadium at seven o'clock.

    "I got through the outer perimeter where there is crushing. I came round in good time and it was quite clear that we were not going to get in before nine o'clock."

    Apparently there is an outer perimeter that only those with tickets can get in. There are loads of fans without tickets at the outer perimeter stopping the fans with tickets getting through. Reporters are saying there are crushes in that area as people push forward.

    Once through that, the security aren't opening the gates to let fans in. Fans are now climbing over the fences to get in.

    Quote: According to the press members, here are the Champions League finals so far: 15 thousand ticketless fans came. Fans could not be let in for hours. Pepper gas was used in areas where children are present. The match has been postponed for 30 minutes.
