The final battle in the Stade de France in Paris was to start at 9 p.m., but the kick-off was only at 9:36 p.m.

The kick-off was postponed for “security reasons”, an official statement from the management of the Stade de France said. The Liverpool and Real Madrid players returned to the field shortly after the news for a warm-up.
With the postponement, UEFA tried to prevent a rush of fans, who tried to be in time for kick-off. Many people had been waiting for more than two hours to get in.
Fans without a ticket
Images are circulating on social media of many Liverpool fans, who have not yet arrived. There are also stories about supporters who would try to enter without a ticket.
To make matters worse, the Paris metro was also on strike.
Outside the stadium, the police responded with tear gas, among other things.
