The former Liverpool star noted in a tweet that both his wife and son had been subjected to horrific treatment in the French capital – a tale shared by many a supporter in France.

We’d like to express our deepest sympathies to McAteer and his loved ones and we hope that all fans involved have safely emerged from the event in question.

It’s difficult to tell the extent to which fan treatment impacted performance on the pitch, though we’ve no doubt that it will have only compounded the negative feelings within the squad after the conclusion of the tie.

In what should have been a show of unity after the final was moved from St. Petersburg to the French capital was sadly utterly marred by French officials on the day.
