Uefa has confirmed that all 19618 Liverpool fans who bought tickets from the club's allocation for last May's Champions League final in Paris are eligible ...
He praised the work done by Spirit of Shankly and the Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association, who said in a joint statement: “With a promise to reimburse supporters, Uefa have gone some way to acknowledging their part in the fiasco. Uefa said those supporters would need to meet its refund criteria and that the scheme covered those “most affected when accessing the Stade de France”. It said it would “reimburse Liverpool FC the total value of these tickets and the club will then process the refunds to its supporters”. Uefa did not just ruin the biggest event in the football season, people were injured and traumatised and any compensation needs to reflect that. We believe the term ‘refund’, in its broadest sense, does not go far enough in providing redress or acknowledging the true harm suffered by those at an event that should have been safe for all to attend.” Its general secretary, Theodore Theodoridis, said the scheme was “comprehensive and fair” and recognised fans’ “negative experiences”.

Due to the nature of the original ticket sales process, whereby Liverpool fans purchased tickets from Liverpool FC and not directly from UEFA, UEFA has requested that the club implements the refunds to ensure personal data protection and for ease of process. Finally, UEFA will offer refunds to all fans who purchased accessibility tickets along with those of their accompanying persons. Given these criteria, the special refund scheme covers all of the Liverpool FC ticket allocation for the Final, i.e.

An apology to Liverpool supporters for “the experiences of many of them” and the unjust blaming was made last month by Theodoridis. UEFA statements during the chaos and after the game wrongly blamed Liverpool fans for arriving at the stadium late and using fake tickets to try to gain entry. “We recognise the negative experiences of those supporters on the day and with this scheme we will refund fans who had bought tickets and who were the most affected by the difficulties in accessing the stadium.”

The evaluation stated that the police used tear gas at disruptive groups of locals and pepper spray on fans trying to enter with legal tickets, adding to the perilous situation on the concourse outside the turnstiles. Kickoff was delayed by 37 minutes as a result of a mix of operational challenges outside the stadium that made it difficult for upset supporters to go inside, especially those with disabilities and those who had asthma who had to deal with the tear gas and pepper spray. According to the assessment, the indifference shown to Liverpool supporters outside the stadium "almost led to disaster."

42 min: Dejan Kulusevski sends a cross towards the far post from the right, standing the ball up at the far post. 38 min: With little to get excited about taking place on the pitch, the atmosphere in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on this cold March evening seems fairly subdued. 58 min: Harry Kane receives a pass from Hjobjerg and is clipped by Sandro Tonali as he turns to sprint into the Milan penalty area. 63 min: Son attempts a cross into the Milan penalty area but his effort is blocked. 67 min: Leao tries to tee up Brahim Diaz, who could have shot first-time from 15 yards out but elected to take a couple of touches. Ben Davies recycles the ball but it ends up in the warm embrace of Mike Maignan. They’ve been dismal tonight and those two results, not to mention their defeat at the hands of Wolves on Saturday, are going to prompt no end of calls for Antonio Conte’s head. 77 min: In news that will come as no surprise to anyone who is familiar with his work, Cristian Romero gets his second yellow card for a rash, stupid lunge on Theo Hernandez. 90+1 min: Divock Origi runs into traffic on the edge of the Tottenham penalty area. Hernandez squares the ball for Origi, whose shot hits the foot of the post and rebounds into the arms of Fraser Forster. He gets down to his right to parry the ball clear and Milan break upfield. Tottenham win a free-kick and Son hoists the ball towards the far post.
'Just a mess': Superstar urged to 'leave' as PSG crash out; EPL giant's trophy pain: CL Wrap.
We love individuals within a team but that’s not a team and Kylian Mbappe has to leave that club.” It’s just brilliant because it tells you how important it is to be a team. AC Milan progressed to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2012 as the Italian champions held out for a 0-0 draw at 10-man Tottenham to win 1-0 on aggregate. It’s not a team, it’s just a mess. Five years out of seven they’ve gone out in the last-16. It is the second season running in which PSG have gone out of the Champions League in the last 16, and the fifth time in the last seven campaigns the Qatar-owned club have failed to go beyond the first knockout round.
While Milan can celebrate reaching the Champions League quarters for the first time since 2012, Tottenham are lamenting another lacklustre year.

Spurs have often been passive in their matches before rousing themselves in the second half and while there was a modicum of improvement here, the collective lack of urgency throughout was nothing short of staggering given the stakes in play. Spurs needed to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit but lost by that score on aggregate after an insipid display at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in which they mustered just two shots on target.

"We did well in the first half. They gave everything." "In the second half we were far better than our opponents and deserved to win."
For the fifth time in seven years, PSG's expensively assembled squad has been knocked out in the Champions League last 16, this time by Bayern.
We had a lot of important absentees in the first game and in the second game.

Right now, though, only Musiala is looking like the kind of world-class player that Bayern used to have in abundance. The Bayern star dominated the midfield and his first-half shoulder charge on Messi summed up how he approached this game. This isn't a vintage Bayern team, but nobody will want to face them in the latter stages simply because they know how to win in this competition. This might just have been the game in which Messi saw his last chance of one more Champions League crown disappear forever. Bayern had to weather an early PSG storm before taking control of this game, but once Choupo-Moting put them ahead on 60 minutes, the tie was in the bag. In continental competition, all PSG's Qatari owners have to show for their mammoth investment in the club is one final appearance. PSG, who lost to Bayern in Lisbon, Portugal, in their only Champions League final appearance to date in 2020, crashed out 3-0 on aggregate after losing the first-leg 1-0 in Paris.
The Champions League round-of-16 second leg between Spurs and AC Milan starts 10 minutes late after both teams are caught up in London's gridlock.
AC Milan was based in a hotel in the Shoreditch district of London and only got to the ground just before 7pm local time, ahead of a scheduled 8pm kick-off. The game was pushed back by 10 minutes and when it did get going, things got worse for the hosts, unable to find the back of the net as their Italian opponents held on for a 1-0 aggregate win after their victory at Stadio San Siro three weeks ago. The start of the Champions League game between Tottenham and AC Milan has been delayed after their buses got stuck in traffic.

The 24-year-old still has two years left on his contract, but it's thought possible that Mbappe could depart for Real Madrid prior to the expiration of that most recent deal, so that the club can recoup a significant transfer fee and not see him leave for free. There have been widespread reports that he is nearing a contract extension with the French side for at least another year, but as those reports drag on with no official conclusion to the matter, doubts begin to once again creep in. Round of 16 Current PSG owners Qatari Sports Investments (QSI) have been desperate to bring Paris Saint-Germain the club's first-ever UEFA Champions League title. Exes.— OptaJean (@OptaJean) Meanwhile, they've sold useful players that teams like Bayern snatch up and slot into their team to great effect. The French side oozes very little cohesion and chemistry, the sign of a patchwork squad built on star players and commercial intrigue rather than a plan for European on-field domination. PSG displayed a total lack of mental fortitude and desire, as they offered little sense of urgency even after going two goals down on aggregate and the clock dragging on. A large part of that was down to injury struggles, with Presnel Kimpembe out for the matchup, while both Marqinhos and Nordi Mukiele were forced off in the second leg. That's a paltry return for three of the highest paid players in the world, and while an injury to Neymar prior to the second leg certainly made things difficult, the presence of even two of those legendary players should find a way to score goals. With PSG still never having lifted the Champions League trophy in the club's history, the 2023 defeat is just the latest early exit in a long string of poor results abroad. It's yet another season in which PSG fall well short of European expectations, leaving their Qatari owners still starved for the fruits of the Champions League tree they crave so deeply.

As well as the goals, Musiala is second in the Bundesliga for assists this season. The rotations around Musiala often change, the formation too, but there is a zone that he has made his own.
