Didier Lallement admitted he was "wounded from the failure" of the Champions League final fiasco at the Stade de France as his tenure as chief of Paris police came to an end on Thursday.
The Paris police force has been heavily criticised following horrible scenes at Liverpool 's clash with Real Madrid on May 28, along with competition organisers UEFA. Lallement, 65, was among those to falsely point blame at Liverpool supporters, citing their behaviour as one of the reasons for crowd trouble ahead of the match.
Chaos outside the stadium saw many fans tear-gassed by riot police and denied entry despite having tickets to the showpiece fixture, though a report from the French Senate has since absolved Liverpool's supporters of any blame, with Lallement also backtracking and issuing an apology.
