UEFA are facing a fresh wave of criticism after supporters were left in tears, some began vomiting during three-hour bus trips and others had to cross dangerous verges after being turfed out of gridlocked taxis before Saturday’s Champions League final in Istanbul.
The governing body are yet to comment on the chaos that spoiled Manchester City ’s maiden European title for many of their 20,000 supporters with fans saying that the venue was not fit for purpose.
But the bottom line is that another series of shambolic scenes have shown they failed to learn their lessons from the dangerous issues experienced by Liverpool supporters at last year’s showpiece in Paris and Rangers’ Europa League final defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.
