Liverpool FC welcomes the Report into the chaos at the UEFA Champions League final in Paris which fully vindicates Liverpool fans while finding UEFA ...

Our thoughts go out to all our fans who have suffered as a result of Paris and we would remind them of the mental health support we put in place in the days following the disaster that was the UEFA Champions League final in Paris. We knew that it was critical to understand why both Liverpool and Real Madrid supporters found ourselves in the situation where supporters’ safety was put at risk. We also called on UEFA to launch a full independent and transparent investigation, in order to establish the facts.

Liverpool call on Uefa to "fully and transparently" implement the recommendations made in an independent report on the events before last season's Champions ...

This was a 'near miss' of a much more fatal situation. "Lessons must be learnt. "What should have been the highlight of the season for travelling supporters of Liverpool and Real Madrid - in Uefa's words a 'festival of football' - turned out to be a maelstrom of chaos and alarm that led to some fans fearing for their life," the group said. Uefa and French authorities initially blamed ticketless Liverpool fans for the events, but the report - released on Monday - said there was "no evidence" to support the "reprehensible" claims. The club added the "fundamental safety failings" had "exacerbated the suffering" of the families, friends and survivors of Hillsborough. Liverpool want Uefa to "fully and transparently" fulfil recommendations made in an independent report on the events before last season's Champions League final in Paris.

"... "The evidence-based panel report also found that there was 'a clear and immediate danger of a fatal crush' and that the action of Liverpool supporters saved lives."

Lawyers preparing imminent legal claims against Uefa on behalf of Liverpool supporters who suffered injury and trauma at last May's Champions League final ...

Tony Winterburn, partner at Pogust Goodhead, said: “This is a hugely damning report for Uefa, which clearly strengthens the case we are bringing on behalf of Liverpool fans. When publishing the report, Uefa repeated an apology made to supporters of both clubs after the final. “It was the worst day of my life and I’m still dealing with the issues now,” he said. Of the refund scheme, they said: “It’s important to understand that what is required here is more than just a ticket refund. It’s about accountability and about learning lessons for the future. The central finding of the review panel, which was chaired by a Portuguese MP, Tiago Brandão Rodrigues, was that Uefa had “primary responsibility” for the safety failures that almost led to a “mass fatality catastrophe”.

Champions League final on May 28, 2022 between Liverpool and Real Madrid at Stade de France was overshadowed by serious problems for supporters outside; ...

Their incompetence and negligence could have led to a far more serious situation had it not been for the restraint of the Liverpool supporters who know all about the history of what happened at Hillsborough in 1989. The real number of counterfeit Liverpool tickets turned out to be 1,600 - which is no more than usually expected for a game of that size. "It is now obvious that three months was not enough time to organise a Champions League final. Dr Rodrigues said last year in a UEFA statement: "The events of 28 May were distressing for everyone involved. The independent French Senate report published in July 2022 found Liverpool supporters were unfairly and wrongly blamed for the chaotic scenes to divert attention from the real organisational failures. But even more concerning is the realisation that for families, friends and survivors of Hillsborough, Paris has only exacerbated their suffering." The FFF didn't respond to messages for comment through email and its media website on Monday. UEFA as event owner has been assigned "primary responsibility" but it's understood some commission members disagreed with the conclusion. "And they should apologise and thank Liverpool supporters for the way they behaved." "Although the French police were out in force before the game, they were nowhere to be seen when supporters were being mugged and attacked as they were leaving the game. "A Champions League final should be a celebration of football but in Paris it turned into a nightmare for tens of thousands of supporters because of failures on the part of the people who were supposed to be looking after them. "What happened on 28 May 2022 was the fault of UEFA, the French authorities and the French police.
