GWT: UCL Final: Liverpool vs Real Madrid - 28 May

[luiginb]

Thinking this gouvernement and police planned anything is way overating them.

True, I only wish I could have half the trust in governments conspiracy theorists do.

Liverpool question credentials of politician overseeing Uefa report

Liverpool have questioned the credentials and suitability of the man appointed to head Uefa’s report into the treatment of supporters before the Champions Leagu

French politicians and police will never admit they were wrong especially if it's the English pointing fingers.

This is Oudea-Castera’s chief of staff. Left their post after a week. Wonder why?

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I'd be interested to hear how many arrests there were of locals for this stuff. It sounds like a complete free-for-all of robbery and assault with impunity.

So UEFA apologized to Liverpool and Madrid fans.

So UEFA apologized to Liverpool and Madrid fans.

The obvious conclusion here is that someone in power thought this would be like Russia/England in 2018. And obviously they way overreacted.

Nothing happened when Liverpool played in Paris or in Marseille or the other two CL finals or Barcelona so I don’t know what they were thinking. Our fans are more of a risk at home games where they can throw stuff at other teams buses, they don’t want to attack other fans.

That maybe explains the heavy handed policing and itchy tear gas fingers, but not so much the pitiful organization and robbery gauntlet for supporters. This was a very special level of screw up.

At the risk of rustling some jimmies, this was definitely worse than the Euro final in England on aggregate.

It’s a start but it’s no where near good enough. This isn’t going to go away that easily from a canned PR response

They were both terrible and if there'd be any justice in the world, both London and Paris would be banned from hosting finals for 10 years.

I'm just shocked that UEFA apologized to Liverpool fans given that they were the ones to blame apparently.

If you look at their statement, they really didn’t. But it’s a start.

Isn't Saint Denis the most violent ghetto in France and in whole Europe, so it shouldn't have come as a surprise to no-one. Well, maybe for the French police, politicians and UEFA.

"Saint-Denis is known for its crime, with high rates of robbery, drugs offences and murder. Saint-Denis also holds the record for the highest rate of violence in Europe (31.27 per thousand while the national average is 6 in France) "

Yep. And there's countless fans of both teams saying it's a miracle none of the fans died after what they saw.

As Thierry Henry said. St. Denis is not Paris

Paris, May 2022

By way of providing some context, in addition to all my experience following Liverpool FC in the UK and across Europe, over the last 25 years I have also travelled to three World Cups on three different continents (including in developing countries), two European Championships, Olympic Games, Ru...

There's too much in there to copy. This is absolutely crazy.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Most incompetent organisation in history of CL.



What a bunch of buffoon. I hope they sue them to the tooth, especially Darmanin and Oudéa-Castéra by making their false claim and daring to put the blame on the fans.

 

[Live in the Now]

Someone has to point out the obvious here. Considering there was once a terror attack there I am absolutely stunned they would let that many people gather in one spot like that.

But they did say these kinds of crowds only happen because Liverpool fans faked tickets and clearly they lied and are wrong.

Why has the french police not attacked the dangerous crowd yet?!

Fantastic look for France/Paris for the upcoming Olympics lol

Yeah that's what happens when your story is BS but you still think enough people will defend you that you don't need any evidence.

Why are the police holding back Sergio Ramos there?
