The BBC Panorama documentary into the disastrous Champions League final highlighted the "ill treatment" fans were subjected to by the authorities.
Pogust Goodhead, a law firm bringing a group claim against UEFA about the events in Paris, told the ECHO they have heard "many shocking testimonies which echo the first-hand accounts shown in last night's Panorama". The Panorama documentary, entitled The Champions League Final: What went wrong?, analysed more than 300 videos recorded by fans at the match.
The showpiece event was marred by events before and after the match including fans being dangerously bottlenecked and crushed at the turnstiles, tear gassed by the police, and robbed by local gangs. Experts told the Panorama documentary that the fans' calm response was the main reason the overcrowding outside the stadium did not result in fatalities.
