- Report says blame was to ‘divert attention’ from state’s failure
- ‘Major shortcomings’ identified relating to May’s final in Paris
Liverpool fans were unfairly blamed for the chaos which surrounded last season’s Champions League final in Paris to “divert attention” from the failure of the organisers, a French Senate report has found.
The Senate has heard from Liverpool supporters, French police and government officials and Uefa’s events director, Martin Kallen, since the match on 28 May, which kicked off more than half an hour late.
