France's sports minister has commissioned a report to look into the trouble at last weekend's Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid, the ministry said in a statement on Monday. Saturday's match was delayed by more than 35 minutes after police tried to hold back people attempting to force their way into the national stadium without tickets. Some fans, including children, were tear-gassed by French police.

Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera has asked Michael Cadot, the inter-ministerial delegate for large sports events, to produce the report within 10 days. The report will also outline lessons to take forward for the management of future large sports events.
