Many football fans have been treated to live coverage of the Champions League final on YouTube this year, but it appears the quality of the free stream isn't up to scratch.
As well as being broadcast on BT Sport, the clash between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur is also available on their YouTube channel in 4K.
However, fans have been complaining of a strange ghosting effect which is making the match almost unwatchable.
'Streaming quality of Champions League final on YouTube is atrocious,' wrote one viewer on Twitter. 'BT Sport really need to sort it out. This is why huge sporting events should be free to air on TV.'
It seems that the problems are not down to Internet connection speeds, either.
'Love that I can watch the Champions league final on YouTube but this ghosting thing is killing me,' said another. 'Sort it out! I have Fibre optic broadband!'
'BT Sport buys exclusive rights to champions league final - streams it for free in 4k on YouTube - it looks like this. Great job,' said one more fan, sarcastically.
Others made jokes about the quality, with one comparing the quality to NASL Soccer, a video game for the Intellivision from 1980.

the entire champions league was ruined by bleacher report..lack of games all through group and knockout stages..terrible on air "experts", horrendous advertising, and some of the worst coverage of a tournament as a whole I have ever witnessed..please give it back to fox who do it properly.

Definitely shame on us, we should have done better to make it to the finals but you deserved to be there as well. You should have beaten Liverpool, they didn't show up at all

Oh yes it can, just in case you assume Allison, VVD, Fabinho, Salah and Mane came from your academy.

Been a BT sport customer since day1 I've complained about the quality of service during live sport since day1 still nearly 3 years on I still get a split second annoying pause every 40 odd seconds when watching on my TV or laptop, bored of wasting 2 hours a week calling them so I just put up with it.. My android phone is the only device their service works well on - not a very social experience!

They have done this deliberately. BT don't want you to have nothing for free...
