A Liverpool MP called on both the FA and government to keep pressure on the French authorities and UEFA for the "appalling mismanagement" of the Champions League final.
Ian Byrne told a parliamentary debate this morning (February 28) that British authorities must serve the interests of supporters and not UEFA. The West Derby MP held the debate in parliament and pressed for a full apology and the implementation of all 21 recommendations from the independent report commissioned after last year's final.
The report commissioned by UEFA following the final at Paris' Stade de France said the governing body held "primary responsibility" for the chaotic scenes. The match between Liverpool and Real Madrid will be remembered for the scenes before and after - where fans were crushed at the entry, tear gassed by police, and robbed by local gangs.
