Real Madrid are preparing for their Champions League celebrations here in the Spanish capital, - following their 1-0 nil win in Paris.

Meanwhile, French authorities faced questions Sunday over police tactics at the Paris Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid that descended into scenes of chaos before kick-off, with critics asking if the capital was ready to host the Olympics in two years time.

Liverpool called for an investigation into the treatment of their supporters ahead of the game at Paris' Stade de France on Saturday which the club said left thousands of ticket holders struggling to enter the stadium.

But European football's governing body UEFA blamed a problem with fake tickets, while the French government criticised the behaviour of the English fans.

Differences of opinion

The event was overshadowed by security issues before the game. The match was delayed by over half an hour with various opinions emerging on exactly who was at fault. There was a build-up of Liverpool fans outside the turnstiles ahead of the match, which caused large bottlenecks and police used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse them.

Liverpool Football Club have said that they were "hugely disappointed" by how events unfolded. They have asked for a formal investigation. Merseyside Police have also released a statement explaining they will conduct a formal debrief to support any review.

UEFA pointed the finger at Liverpool fans who had bought "fake" tickets, and then could not pass through the turnstiles. They released this statement:

"UEFA is sympathetic to those affected by these events and will further review these matters urgently together with the French police and authorities, and with the French Football Federation."

Questions will be raised about the organisation of this event. And whether more could have been done to pre-check tickets in advance of the fans arriving to the stadium. In addition to the use of force by the French police to disperse the crowds of fans.
