After the chaos surrounding the Champions League final in Paris, France's Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra sees the responsibility primarily with British football fans.
30,000 to 40,000 had crowded the Stade de France without a ticket or with counterfeit tickets and had caused massive security problems there, the minister told RTL in Paris on Monday.
It still needs to be clarified where the counterfeit tickets came from in such large numbers.
The minister also accused Liverpool FC of not taking good care of their fans like Real Madrid and leaving them to their own devices.
Regrets use of tear gas
The minister regretted the use of tear gas, which also affected uninvolved fans, families and children.
At the same time, she confirmed that France was able to organize major sporting events and referred to the 2016 European Football Championship.
All lessons should be learned from Saturday night's events, also with a view to the 2023 Rugby World Cup and the 2024 Olympic Games in France.
Together with Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, Oudéa-Castéra wanted to take part in a crisis meeting on Monday morning to deal with the chaos at the Stade de France.
The police in Paris registered more than 100 arrests and 230 injuries around the final between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid, which the Spaniards won 1-0.
UEFA explained the chaos at the entrance to the large number of fans without valid tickets.
The turnstiles at the entrance for Liverpool fans were blocked because thousands of supporters with fake tickets could not go through them.
The police used tear gas.
The kick-off time was pushed back by more than half an hour.
Fan representatives criticize a one-sided representation by UEFA.
