UEFA to refund ALL Liverpool fans who attended Champions League final fiasco in Paris

UEFA have announced they intend to refund ALL Liverpool fans who attended the Champions League final fiasco in Paris last May.

Kick-off for the showpiece event was delayed as masses of fans were denied entry to the stadium despite possessing valid tickets. Fans were hemmed into dangerous bottlenecks on their way into the ground, with some even sprayed with tear gas by police as they waited for more than two hours to get inside.

An independent inquiry determined that UEFA bore “primary responsibility” for the safety failures which “almost led to disaster.” UEFA have since apologised to Liverpool fans and are now prepared to reimburse those who were affected.
