Liverpool fans compensated over chaos at 2022 Champions League final

Sport 09:22 24.03.2024

Liverpool fans who made personal injury claims over the chaos at the 2022 Champions League final in Paris have reached a compensation agreement.

UEFA confirmed a "full and final settlement" had been agreed with supporters represented by two law firms, although the terms will remain confidential.

An independent report published last year found Europe's football governing body bore "primary responsibility" for the security failures which almost led to a "mass fatality catastrophe".

Thousands of Liverpool fans were penned in against perimeter fences outside the Stade de France by police, with the kick-off delayed by more than half an hour.

Some had already been targeted by local youths trying to steal their tickets, while others were robbed after leaving the stadium following Real Madrid's 1-0 win.

"UEFA has already taken a number of steps following the 2022 final, including implementing recommendations from the independent review and establishing a special refund scheme," UEFA said in a statement.

"Today, it has gone further by ensuring that Liverpool fans represented by Pogust Goodhead and Bingham Long receive a sum by way of compensation in relation to the difficulties and challenges that they were confronted with.
