A week has gone by but the stadium "fiasco" remains a hot issue in France, with new and harrowing accounts about the breakdown in law and order when the match had come to an end, reports BBC News.
Among Liverpool fans whose translated testimony has been circulating widely on social media is UFC fighter Paddy Pimblett, who said he had "never been so scared in my life … as when I came out of that ground on Saturday night".
"At least when you are in a cage it is one against one," the mixed martial artist said.
"There were groups of 30 men, running around in big packs. Some of them had weapons: machetes, knives, bars and bats. People were being pinned to the floor and having their watches taken.
"I saw people having their handbags taken off them, when [the thieves] would pull the bag from them and then slice the [strap] with a knife.
"The only thing I can compare it to is something like the film The Purge - where you can do what you like for 12 hours. There were no laws."
The Purge depicts an American dystopia where every year all crimes including murder are decriminalised for half a day.
Real Madrid football club added its voice yesterday to those calling for an investigation into the violence against its fans who, it said, had been left "helpless and defenceless".
"Many of our supporters were attacked, harassed, set upon, mugged. Some even had to spend the night in hospital because of their injuries," the club said in a statement.
The head of a French police union said his colleagues "had never seen anything like it".
"At the start the ones jumping through the turnstiles were mainly locals, but very quickly other profiles emerged. Minors or pseudo-minors, foreigners, ultra-violent types from God knows where. Then everything changed," Patrice Ribeiro of Synergie-officiers told Le Figaro newspaper.
"They were attacking women, children, old people, and then merging back into the crowd when the police came. Some victims actually had their clothes taken from them."
