A report into what went so badly wrong on the day of the 2022 Champions League final has found UEFA bears 'primary responsibility' for the drastic failings, despite Liverpool fans coming under fire at the time for the scenes witnessed in Paris.
I am glad it has all come out, and the proof is in the pudding. We have emerged from this in the right manner and the experience of people who were at Hillsborough has saved lives in Paris. It is something that should never happen again. I feel sick and I am glad the report has shown what Liverpool fans are really about.
Another thing that has no place in the game is the continued theme of tragedy chanting, which was most recently witnessed during Sunday’s game between Leeds and Manchester United. Some Leeds fans were singing about Munich, prompting responses in the away end about the two Leeds supporters killed in Turkey in April 2000. It’s rank and disgusting. There is absolutely no place for it in the game and I am so tired of it.
