Liverpool begin REFUNDING tickets for last season’s Champions League final, after fans were subjected to tear gas and huge delays trying to get into Stade de France – with UEFA facing £3.5MILLION bill to pay back 19,618 Reds supporters
- The process of Liverpool fans getting their money back from UEFA is underway
- UEFA is facing a £3.5million pay-out after an independent report blamed them
- Liverpool fan groups welcomed the decision by the European governing body
Liverpool are starting to refund tickets for fans who attended the 2021-22 Champions League final.
The showpiece game against Real Madrid was overshadowed by the chaos and horror that fans were subjected to trying to get in, with European football’s governing body, UEFA, absolve Liverpool fans of any blame back in February, admitting it was their fault.
UEFA made the unprecedented move to refund supporters back in March – in a move that will likely cost millions – but the process of getting the money back has now begun.
In an email sent to ticket holders for the Paris final – seen by Mail Sport – Liverpool revealed they are starting the process to refund tickets and any additional postage fees from April 20.
Supporters in Paris that night were subjected to horrendous crowd control and were targeted by tear gas, with an independent report commissioned by UEFA concluding that only the calmness of Liverpool fans prevented a ‘mass fatality catastrophe’.
