Paris Promise: No Tear Gas for Liverpool Fans! …
Liverpool fans, brace yourselves for a much smoother trip down memory lane as you return to Paris this Wednesday. Cue the sigh of relief: French police have vowed there won’t be a sequel to that 2022 Champs League final disaster, which wasn’t exactly a highlight reel for crowd management.
This week’s showdown sees the Reds line up against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last-16. It’s Liverpool’s first Parisian jaunt since the 2022 freeway to fiasco outside Stade de France nearly three years ago. Instead of a trophy, fans got a chaotic cocktail of fences, tear gas, and terrifying tumbles.
Fear not, for the ghost of chaos past is safely tucked away. Cops have announced a no-drama policy, crediting Liverpool fans’ exemplary manners—who knew your parents’ pep talks would pay off?
The match will be at Parc des Princes instead of Stade de France—a stadium swap that supposedly ups the safety factor. Supporters expect a Hollywood-like happy ending where the worst thing that happens is running out of snacks. So Liverpool faithful, pack your scarves, not your battle armor—Paris is ready to let you sing instead of scream!
