Liverpool Football Club welcomes the Report into the chaos at the UEFA Champions League final in Paris which fully vindicates Liverpool fans while finding UEFA primarily responsible for organisational failings, absence of overall control or oversight of safety and security, poor planning and lack of contingency plans
 
The evidence-based Panel Report also found that there was ‘a clear and immediate danger of a fatal crush’ and that the action of Liverpool supporters saved lives.

The Panel concluded that there were two key organisational failures – firstly the UEFA ‘model’ for organising the final was defective as there was an absence of overall control or oversight of safety and security.
