'No football fan should be put in that situation, and it must not happen again.'
There have been numerous accounts of fans being tear gassed by police before and after the match, it was those scarring events that will be the legacy of the biggest match in European football.
UEFA’s statement on the night of the final also left a sour taste in the mouths of supporters, with a message appearing on the big screen at the Stade De France blaming the late arrival for fans for the delays in entering the stadium. However, with more time to digest the events of the evening, UEFA have confirmed that they’ll be conducting an independent review into what transpired in the French capital.: “UEFA wishes to sincerely apologise to all spectators who had to experience or witness frightening and distressing events in the build-up to the UEFA Champions League final at the Stade de France on 28 May 2022 in Paris, on a night which should have been a celebration of European club football.
“To that end, immediately after the events, UEFA commissioned an Independent Review to identify shortcomings and responsibilities of all entities involved in the organisation of the final, and has today published the Terms of Reference for this review. “The Independent Review, which will be led by Dr Tiago Brandão Rodrigues from Portugal, aims at understanding what happened in the build-up to the final, and determining what lessons should be learned to ensure there is no repeat of the actions and events of that day.
