BBC Breakfast viewers switch off as football coverage sparks backlash: 'Get over it'

Correspondent Dan Johnson explained: “Yes, absolutely, and that investigation is being called for by Liverpool football club following the treatment of their fans by French police here last night.

“Some fans queued for hours outside the turnstiles but were exposed to pepper spray and teargas as police tried to quell the swelling numbers of fans who were being held at those stadium entry points.

“Very little communications about why they were denied entry to the stadium last night, and the claims by UEFA that the match was delayed by the fans not arriving on time didn’t reflect the number of fans who had waited for up to three hours to gain access.

“Liverpool has said in a statement ‘This the greatest match in European football supporters should not have to experience the scenes we witnessed tonight.’.
