France's Interior Minister has defended how police handled Saturday's Champions League final in Paris which saw some Liverpool fans being tear gassed.
Gérald Darmanin said the event could clearly have been handled better but that enough police were at the game.
Of the two sets of supporters, Real Madrid and Liverpool, he said only the English club's fans posed problems.
But behind the scenes, French media have said the president is furious with Mr Darmanin's response. And satirical weekly Le Canard Enchaîné said the president had found the events outside the Stade de France "shameful" and "unworthy of France".
Footballing sources told AFP that
2,800 fake tickets were detected at the stadium gates, while the French Football Federation alleged that some 35,000 people had shown up with fake tickets or with no tickets at all, causing disorder by blocking the gates.
Mathieu Valet, a spokesman for France's independent police commissioner's union (SICP) told the BBC that it was not fake tickets or ticketless supporters who were the main problem: "It's clear that we needed more police - we didn't have enough on the ground."
Gérald Darmanin says enough police were deployed, despite chaotic scenes in Paris on Saturday.
