Six months after the Champions League final, Liverpool fans are still in pain.

Some Liverpool fans are still too afraid to watch games live six months after the turmoil that endangered lives at the Champions League final in Paris. The atmosphere at Anfield, one of football's most recognizable venues, has been dubbed "terrible" this season by local member of parliament and supporter Ian Byrne, who claims that others look to be watching their heroes "under anesthesia."


The May 28 Real Madrid victory at the Stade de France was overshadowed by the activities surrounding the championship game of European football. As supporters struggled to enter the stadium after being forced into packed bottlenecks on approach, kickoff was delayed by 37 minutes. Then, police shot thousands of people with tear gas.
