An independent review into the events surrounding the Champions League final has been announced by UEFA.
European football’s governing body has appointed Dr Tiago Brandao Rodrigues to lead a comprehensive report into the problems Liverpool fans faced in Paris on Saturday.
Thousands of Liverpool fans were stuck outside the stadium and sprayed with tear gas and pepper spray as they tried to enter the Stade de France ahead of the match against Real Madrid.
The review will examine decision-making, responsibility and behaviours of all entities involved in the final, UEFA said.
Earlier, the French interior minister blamed “fraud on an industrial scale” for the chaos – and said thousands of fake tickets had caused the mayhem.
