“Refunds will be available to all fans... “The club’s role, as a ticket agent for this match, will be to administer the refunds to qualifying supporters that bought match tickets via LFC, as directed by UEFA.” “We recognise the negative experiences of those supporters on the day and with this scheme we will refund fans who had bought tickets and who were the most affected by the difficulties in accessing the stadium.”

“Due to the nature of the original ticket sales process, whereby Liverpool fans purchased tickets from Liverpool FC and not directly from UEFA, UEFA has requested that the club implements the refunds to ensure personal data protection and for ease of process.” “In addition, all fans who according to the access control data did not enter the stadium before 21:00 CET (the originally scheduled kick-off time) or who were not able to enter the stadium at all, will be eligible for a refund,” UEFA added. Although UEFA initially blamed the Merseyside club’s fans for the mayhem, the governing body later apologised following the release of an independent review.

The evaluation stated that the police used tear gas at disruptive groups of locals and pepper spray on fans trying to enter with legal tickets, adding to the perilous situation on the concourse outside the turnstiles. Kickoff was delayed by 37 minutes as a result of a mix of operational challenges outside the stadium that made it difficult for upset supporters to go inside, especially those with disabilities and those who had asthma who had to deal with the tear gas and pepper spray. According to the assessment, the indifference shown to Liverpool supporters outside the stadium "almost led to disaster."

UEFA will cover more than 19000 tickets after an independent inquiry determined a crush of fans could have led to disaster.

[said in a statement](https://thefsa.org.uk/news/uefa-announces-plan-to-refund-liverpool-fans-caught-up-in-final-chaos/) that UEFA’s decision is “both unprecedented and hugely welcome, and builds concretely on the apology they extended to Liverpool fans earlier. The report from the independent inquiry was at odds with initial claims by UEFA and French authorities, who blamed ticketless fans for the crush. Finally, UEFA will offer refunds to all fans who purchased accessibility tickets along with those of their accompanying persons.” “We have taken into account a huge number of views expressed both publicly and privately and we believe we have devised a scheme that is comprehensive and fair,” UEFA General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis said in the statement. “We value the input from the Liverpool FC supporter organizations Spirit of Shankly and Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association as well as the open and transparent dialogue throughout this period. Many gave up trying to enter the stadium as the chaos and crush of fans intensified.

On Wednesday, PSG and Bayern Munich face off on as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and company have their backs against the wall, looking to overcome a 1-0 deficit ...

Match prediction: Already having the lead coming into the second leg, Benfica will be able to take things at their pace passing their way to another 2-0 victory to echo the opening leg. Man of the Match pick: Rafael Leao - There are a lot of rumors about his potential Premier League move in the future and this is a great opportunity for him to shine on such a big stage. Only facing four shots on target during the opening leg in Belgium, he'll have more to do during an away trip in Libson. Dortmund tend to share the goals around, their scorer could be anyone but with four in his last five Bundesliga games Julian Brandt seems a tempting choice. This is going to be a big chance for him and Spurs will rely a lot on their club's top scorer against the Italian side. Antonio Conte's side need to score if they want to have chances to go to the next round but will also likely expose themselves defensively. Reus' own fitness is often fleeting but when he is available he tends to be worth the wait and has provided two goals and three assists. Antonio Conte's side are coming from a heavy defeat away against Wolves and need to react in the Champions League's second leg this Wednesday. Most likely to score a goal: Mbappe -- The opening leg only really came to life when Mbappe came on and his introduction transformed PSG. Fikayo Tomori – Tottenham will definitely need to score soon during the match if they want to have chances to make it to the quarter finals of this season. The only concern over Mendes might be his ability to go the full 90 and potentially beyond given his recent knock against Lille. The first leg was all about Mbappe and he only came on as a second half substitute before ripping into Bayern with the help of Nuno Mendes.

Bayern deserved to win in Paris, but they'll remember how the momentum completely shifted after Kylian Mbappe entered midway through the second half. Win by three or more goals: Club Brugge advance to quarterfinals❌ Win by two goals: Extra time (and, if necessary, penalties)❌ If teams are level on goals after 180 minutes, they will head to extra time, and penalties if necessary, to determine a winner. After conceding early in Italy, Tottenham arguably did well to head back home with only a narrow loss. - Win by one goal: Extra time (and, if necessary, penalties) One more week, and we'll be down to just eight teams in the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League as the Round of 16 second legs unfold.

The second leg UEFA Champions League round of 16 will start tonight with Chelsea hosting Borussia Dortmund and Benfica playing Club Brugge at home.

However, since United had three away goals as compared to PSG’s two, the Red Devils progressed to the quarterfinals. Since Roma had scored at Camp Nou, the Italian side progressed to the quarterfinals. While Barcelona was leading 4-1 after the first leg, Roma scored thrice at home, taking the aggregate score to 4-4.
