REAL MADRID have responded to Uefa’s offer to refund some fans affected by events at the Champions League final in Paris last year, describing it as “insufficient” and requesting Uefa “redress the situation and assume its full responsibility.”

The club from the Spanish capital faced Liverpool in the final in May 2022 when negligent planning and inadequate responses from those involved in overseeing the event —  including Uefa, the Prefecture de Police, and other organisers including the French Football Federation — led to chaotic, dangerous incidents related to crowd control and the safety of attendees.

A comprehensive independent review released last month found that Uefa “bears primary responsibility for failures which almost led to disaster.”
