Uefa to refund Liverpool fans for tickets after Champions League ... (The Guardian)

Uefa has confirmed that all 19618 Liverpool fans who bought tickets from the club's allocation for last May's Champions League final in Paris are eligible ...

He praised the work done by Spirit of Shankly and the Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association, who said in a joint statement: “With a promise to reimburse supporters, Uefa have gone some way to acknowledging their part in the fiasco. Uefa said those supporters would need to meet its refund criteria and that the scheme covered those “most affected when accessing the Stade de France”. It said it would “reimburse Liverpool FC the total value of these tickets and the club will then process the refunds to its supporters”. Uefa did not just ruin the biggest event in the football season, people were injured and traumatised and any compensation needs to reflect that. We believe the term ‘refund’, in its broadest sense, does not go far enough in providing redress or acknowledging the true harm suffered by those at an event that should have been safe for all to attend.” Its general secretary, Theodore Theodoridis, said the scheme was “comprehensive and fair” and recognised fans’ “negative experiences”.

Due to the nature of the original ticket sales process, whereby Liverpool fans purchased tickets from Liverpool FC and not directly from UEFA, UEFA has requested that the club implements the refunds to ensure personal data protection and for ease of process. Finally, UEFA will offer refunds to all fans who purchased accessibility tickets along with those of their accompanying persons. Given these criteria, the special refund scheme covers all of the Liverpool FC ticket allocation for the Final, i.e.

Champions League quarter-finals: Meet the teams (UEFA.com)

Key players, rankings, ones to watch: all you need to know about the UEFA Champions League quarter-finalists.

Potter has built on the foundations of Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea at their best, typically playing with a robust back three and the double No6 pairing in front. The Portuguese playmaker was signed on loan from Atlético de Madrid in January and is a proven player at this level. He weighs in with goals and also contributes defensively, working hard in the press. Having made his name at Salzburg, the former midfielder coached Leverkusen in his native Germany and more recently was in charge of PSV Eindhoven, his side winning the 2021/22 Dutch Cup. However, if Benfica hit their ceiling in the quarter-finals last time, this season they have a more balanced squad and even without world champion Enzo Fernández (who joined Chelsea in the winter) they look sharp, patient and clinical. Reaching the last eight in successive seasons is a significant achievement for a team from outside Europe's to five leagues.

UEFA Champions League picks, predictions, odds: PSG heading for ... (CBSSports.com)

Champions League returns to action and experts think this is the end of the line for Lionel Messi and company.

Man of the Match pick: Rafael Leao - There are a lot of rumors about his potential Premier League move in the future and this is a great opportunity for him to shine on such a big stage. Antonio Conte's side need to score if they want to have chances to go to the next round but will also likely expose themselves defensively. I expect the Italian side to go through. This is going to be a big chance for him and Spurs will rely a lot on their club's top scorer against the Italian side. Antonio Conte's side are coming from a heavy defeat away against Wolves and need to react in the Champions League's second leg this Wednesday. Fikayo Tomori – Tottenham will definitely need to score soon during the match if they want to have chances to make it to the quarter finals of this season. Most likely to score a goal: Mbappe -- The opening leg only really came to life when Mbappe came on and his introduction transformed PSG. The only concern over Mendes might be his ability to go the full 90 and potentially beyond given his recent knock against Lille. Julian Nagelsmann's men really should have buried Galtier's side in Paris when they had the chance. The first leg was all about Mbappe and he only came on as a second half substitute before ripping into Bayern with the help of Nuno Mendes. The journey towards European supremacy rages on as the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second legs are underway. Tuesday saw Chelsea turn things around against Borussia Dortmund while Benfica slammed the door shut against struggling Club Brugge.

UEFA will cover more than 19000 tickets after an independent inquiry determined a crush of fans could have led to disaster.

The report from the independent inquiry was at odds with initial claims by UEFA and French authorities, who blamed ticketless fans for the crush. Finally, UEFA will offer refunds to all fans who purchased accessibility tickets along with those of their accompanying persons.” “We have taken into account a huge number of views expressed both publicly and privately and we believe we have devised a scheme that is comprehensive and fair,” UEFA General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis said in the statement. “We value the input from the Liverpool FC supporter organizations Spirit of Shankly and Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association as well as the open and transparent dialogue throughout this period.
