- Letter asks Uefa to pay compensation for ‘loss and harm’
- Matter relates to last May’s Champions League final in Paris
Lawyers representing more than 1,000 Liverpool fans who suffered injury and trauma at last season’s Champions League final have given Uefa one week to accept full responsibility for events in Paris and agree to pay appropriate compensation or face litigation proceedings.
Uefa was found this week to have “primary responsibility” for the appalling scenes outside the Stade de France by an independent panel commissioned by European football’s governing body after last May’s final between Liverpool and Real Madrid. Uefa has apologised to supporters of both clubs but has not accepted responsibility for the panel’s findings. Its president, Aleksander Ceferin, has not made any comment on the damning report.
