A Liverpool supporters group has called on France’s interior minister Gerald Darmanin to resign following a government report that exonerates the Merseyside club’s fans from any blame over the horrific scenes that marred May’s Champions League final in Paris.
Thousands of fans were crushed and pepper sprayed outside Stade de France before and during the game which Jurgen Klopp’s side lost 1-0 to Real Madrid.
Following meetings with fans, police and local government authorities, the French Senate report published today said that the scenes were caused by a “chain of events and malfunctions” in the days and hours leading up to kick-off.
