Liverpool and Tottenham fans who opted to watch the Champions League final on YouTube have been left frustrated with the image quality.

With the picture lagging and colour streams following players around like ghosts, watching the game via BT Sport’s free live stream has proved unexpectedly surreal.

Screengrabs have flooded social media, with fans expressing their disappointment at the trippy viewing experience.

Others have offered some potential solutions and quick fixes, though that may come as little consolation to fans who have already struggled through much of the game with a live stream which seems to be suffering from double vision.

Here’s what fans are saying

If my BT Sport YT stream doesn’t stop buffering I’m gonna flip man. Unacceptable.

And here are some potential fixes

I say again… If you've struggled with the BT Sport YT stream of the Champion's League final, and can download the BT Sport app onto your console (I'm running it on xbox one), the match is free on there and crystal clear, no stutters no glitches. Get on it at half time.

Anyone trying to watch the #UCLFinal on YouTube, try the website stream instead, it's seemed to be a lot better for me: https://t.co/lMom4mEJaH
