Jürgen Klopp has said Uefa’s president, Aleksander Ceferin, should not resign over the appalling organisation of last season’s Champions League final but there must be accountability for relocating the game to “the worst possible” venue in Paris.

An independent panel commissioned by Uefa found European football’s governing body bore “primary responsibility” for the dangerous scenes outside Stade de France last May, when the actions of Liverpool supporters helped prevent a “mass fatality catastrophe”.
