UEFA bears "primary responsibility" for the chaotic scenes that "almost led to disaster" before last year's Champions League final, according to an independent report.

Fans were penned in and teargassed outside the Stade de France in Paris as the final between Real Madrid and Liverpool was delayed by 36 minutes on 28th May 2022.

European football's governing body commissioned a team led by Dr Tiago Brandao Rodrigues to look into issues of dangerous congestion, supporters being attacked by locals and tear-gassed by police, and the all-round operation at the Stade de France.

UEFA expressed its commitment to implement key recommendations from the report and confirmed a special refund scheme for fans will be set up.
