The French interior minister Gerard Darmanin has finally offered an apology to Liverpool fans caught up in chaotic and dangerous scenes in Paris last month in what has been branded a 'hugely significant moment.'
The French politician has been widely criticised for both his department's handling of the Champions League Final and the lies and smears he personally spread about Liverpool fans in its aftermath. He caused particular anger when falsely claiming that around 40,000 Reds fans had turned up to the Stade de France with fake tickets.
LFC supporters were forced into dangerous crushes before the match and were attacked by police with tear gas and pepper spray. After the match many supporters were robbed and beaten by local gangs.
