West Derby MP Ian Byrne has written to the French Président demanding an official apology following a Senate report into the Champions League final.
Mr Byrne has penned an official request to Emmanuel Macron calling for a formal apology from the French government. A French Senate report published on Wednesday, July 13 said fans were not to blame and documented a catalogue of failings from the French authorities.
Fans at the Stade de France for the match between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid were crushed at the turnstiles, tear gassed by police, and robbed and assaulted by locals in Saint Denis. Mr Byrne, who attended the match, said: "I have not witnessed such a hostile environment at a football match since I was present at Hillsborough in 1989."
