Liverpool fans who attended the Champions League final have received a 'sincere apology' from UEFA almost a week on from the traumatic events of Paris last Saturday.
Thousands of Reds supporters were caught up in the chaos which saw kick-off delayed three times as, French police used tear gas. Liverpool chief executive Billy Hogan had sent UEFA a list of "13 specific questions" and the European governing body have now apologised to the club for the events which marred the Reds' agonising 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid.
A statement read: "UEFA wishes to sincerely apologise to all spectators who had to experience or witness frightening and distressing events in the build-up to the UEFA Champions League final at the Stade de France on 28 May 2022 in Paris, on a night, which should have been a celebration of European club football. No football fan should be put in that situation, and it must not happen again.
