UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said that the governing body is “terribly sorry” for the chaos that engulfed last season’s Champions League final - and initially blaming Liverpool supporters for the distressing scenes outside Stade de France.
Last week the governing body announced that Liverpool supporters would be refunded the cost of their tickets after an independent report laid the blame at the feet of UEFA and local authorities.
Thousands of fans entered a dangerous bottle neck outside the stadium before Liverpool faced Real Madrid. Overzealous police used tear gas on innocent fans who were unable to enter to pass through turnstiles, while local youths behaved violently and attempted to gain access to the stadium without tickets.
