A lifelong Liverpool fan said he feels “robbed” after having his Champions League final ticket seized by a “corrupt” police officer on his way into the stadium. Mr Skillicorn said he was stunned by the police’s actions and tried to prove to officers that the ticket, purchased through the club ballot, was legitimate. However, he said his protests were met with police brutality, after mounted officers struck him repeatedly about the legs. “I didn’t want to watch the match back, I haven’t watched any videos, and I didn’t want to stay in Liverpool for the parade. “There was no explanation, no letting me prove the ticket wasn’t a fake – he just pocketed it.
