UEFA president made private phone call to Liverpool supporters after Champions League final mistakes

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin phoned chairs of various Liverpool supporters' boards last month to thank them for their relentless fight for change after the harrowing events of the 2022 Champions League final.

It has also been revealed that the Football Association issued a private apology to at-the-time Spirit of Shanky head Joe Blott and head of the Disabled Supporters Association Ted Morris for their backing of Ceferin to be re-elected as president just weeks after the distressing scenes outside of the Stade de France.

Supporters who attended the Champions League final in Saint-Denis, Paris on May 28 last year were the subject of heavy-handing police tactics, which included being tear-gassed and beaten with batons, while many supporters with legitimate tickets were locked out of the showpiece final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.
