Uefa has been accused of treating fans at the Champions League final in Istanbul like “cattle”, with Manchester City supporters unable to return to their city centre hotels until past 3am after a late kick-off and a scramble for shuttle buses at the end of the game.

A chaotic “free for all” outside the Atatürk Olympic Stadium caused buses full of fans, which had been laid on to return them to the centre of Istanbul, more than 15 miles away, to stand for more than an hour and a half before they could start to make the journey back, fans said.
