Manchester City fans were reportedly forced to urinate and vomit out of buses as UEFA have come under fire for yet another organisational disaster at the Champions League final.
In 2022, the final was delayed by 38 minutes as Liverpool fans were tear-gassed and pepper-sprayed by French police which quickly led to large crowd crushes outside the Stade de France.

At the time, UEFA and French police blamed the Liverpool fans for the chaos but were forced to backtrack and issue refunds to the travelling Reds faithful after a review found both parties guilty of severe organisational failures.
One year on and it appeared European football’s governing body had still not learned their lesson when it came to club football’s showpiece event.
This year’s Champions League final took place at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, located on the outskirts of Istanbul.
In efforts to keep the two sets of fans separated, Inter supporters were instructed to use the city’s metro system while City fans, who were not permitted to use the metro system, had to go to a transport centre to take buses to the ground.
Upon arriving at the transport centre in Yenikapi, located outside Istanbul’s city centre, The Telegraph reports City fans were told by local police they had to dispose of any water bottles before getting on the bus, despite no bottles being available on the bus itself.
