UEFA tried to pin the blame on Liverpool fans arriving late despite thousands having been held for hours outside the stadium before kick-off. theSun theSundaily UEFA Liverpool refunds Paris realmadrid fans
Liverpool FC’s supporters gather in Paris on May 28, 2022, prior to the Champions League football match final between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid/AFPPix: UEFA said Tuesday it will reimburse all Liverpool supporters who attended last year’s chaos-hit Champions League final against Real Madrid at the Stade de France in Paris.
“Refunds will be available to all fans... where the most difficult circumstances were reported,“ UEFA said, adding that all ticket-holders who did not enter the stadium by the originally scheduled kick-off time, or could not get in at all, would also receive a refund. Police then fired tear gas towards thousands of supporters locked behind metal fences on the perimeter to the stadium.
A joint statement said the announcement “does not excuse UEFA, exempt them from criticism or lessen the need for them to implement all of the recommendations made by the Independent Inquiry”.“UEFA did not just ruin the biggest event in the football season, people were injured and traumatised and any compensation needs to reflect that,“ said Clare Campbell and Jill Paterson, partners at law firm Leigh Day, which is representing more than 800 Liverpool fans.
“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,“ said UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis.
