Liverpool fans express their fury at UEFA ahead of clash with Real Madrid

Liverpool fans were quick to vent their fury at UEFA ahead of the match against Real Madrid after they were wrongly blamed for the chaos in last season’s Champions League final between the teams.

European soccer’s governing body carried out its own review of stunts outside the Stade de France last May, causing the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid to be delayed for 40 minutes when police fired tear gas into masses of fans. , while others were attacked by locals and there were also dangerous congestion problems.

French authorities and UEFA initially held Reds fans without tickets responsible for the chaotic events that occurred before the final.

This was a narrative that was quickly dismissed by a number of sports mail reporters on the scene in Paris, even though it was widely reported by UEFA and French officials.

Last Monday, the independent report ruled that Liverpool supporters were officially cleared of any wrongdoing following UEFA’s investigation, which stated there was no evidence to support the agenda pursued by French authorities in Paris to scapegoat them.

Instead, he said the tactic was “reprehensible” and simply designed to avoid taking responsibility for the chaotic events that transpired that day.

And ahead of the Reds’ Champions League round of 16 draw against Real Madrid at Anfield, Liverpool supporters expressed their sentiments.

They booed loudly as the Champions League anthem was played before kick-off, while banners criticizing UEFA were also unfurled.

This included one reading ‘UEFA LIARS’, while another was adopted as ‘Champions League of DENIERS’, referring to UEFA originally blaming Reds fans for what happened in Paris rather than acknowledging the truth.

Liverpool supporters could also be heard chanting ‘F***UEFA’ as they expressed their disgust at the way the European governing body had acted.
