Champions League

Champions League final on May 28 2022 between Liverpool and Real Madrid at the Stade de France was overshadowed by serious problems for supporters outside; ...

Their incompetence and negligence could have led to a far more serious situation had it not been for the restraint of the Liverpool supporters who know all about the history of what happened at Hillsborough in 1989. The real number of counterfeit Liverpool tickets turned out to be 1,600 - which is no more than usually expected for a game of that size. "It is now obvious that three months was not enough time to organise a Champions League final. Dr Rodrigues said last year in a UEFA statement: "The events of 28 May were distressing for everyone involved. The FFF didn't respond to messages for comment through email and its media website on Monday. "And they should apologise and thank Liverpool supporters for the way they behaved." UEFA as event owner has been assigned "primary responsibility" but it's understood some commission members disagreed with the conclusion. "Although the French police were out in force before the game, they were nowhere to be seen when supporters were being mugged and attacked as they were leaving the game. "The truth is that the real blame lies with UEFA, the French authorities and the French police. "A Champions League final should be a celebration of football but in Paris it turned into a nightmare for tens of thousands of supporters because of failures on the part of the people who were supposed to be looking after them. "What happened on 28 May 2022 was the fault of UEFA, the French authorities and the French police. "It's been over eight months of work by the independent panel and it is only right and proper to publish the contents of the report to our supporters appropriately.

Uefa bears "primary responsibility" for the chaotic scenes before last year's Champions League final, an independent review has found.

Steve Rotheram, mayor of the Liverpool City Region, says the findings "vindicated" the Liverpool fans who had said Uefa and the French authorities were responsible for the events. "The organisation before, during and after the game - and the heavy-handed treatment of fans - was predicated on flawed intelligence and the inaccurate preconceptions and prejudices of the authorities." "It's disappointing and insensitive to release a report of this magnitude without first releasing to supporters who were there," a spokesman told the BBC. "For the experiences many of them had when attending the game and for the messages released prior to and during the game, which had the effect of unjustly blaming them for the situation leading to the delayed kick-off." "Fans who travelled to Paris expecting the night of their lives were put in harm's way by the very people who are meant to protect them," Rotheram, who was at the match, said. "In particular, I would like to apologise to the supporters of Liverpool," Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis said. Following the publication of the review into the Paris scenes, Uefa apologised "most sincerely" for the events which unfolded. "The similarities include the fact both events were preventable and both were caused by the failures of those responsible for public safety. It also said the collective action of Liverpool supporters was "probably instrumental" in preventing "more serious injuries and deaths" outside the stadium. The accusations made by Uefa and French authorities about ticketless Liverpool fans in Paris were criticised by the Rodrigues-led report. The European governing body said a "comprehensive review" would examine a number of factors that include the decision-making, responsibility and behaviour of all parties involved in the final. The report says there is "no evidence" to support the "reprehensible" claims.

UEFA itself bears "primary responsibility" for failures which "almost led to disaster" at the 2022 Champions League final in Paris between Liverpool and ...

"In particular, I would like to apologise to the supporters of Liverpool FC.... UEFA General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis made an apology for the lapses that led to a breakdown in the organisation of the crowd and thanked Dr Brandao Rodrigues and the panel who created the report for their work. The report said that the panel "has concluded that UEFA, as event owner, bears primary responsibility for failures which almost led to disaster."

Independent investigators concluded it was only a “matter of chance” that the dangerous scenes at last year's Liverpool-Real Madrid final did not lead to ...

It said UEFA’s president, Aleksander Ceferin, was asked to make a call on delaying the kickoff even though he had not been in the match control room or in contact with security officials; he had been in a meeting with the King of Spain in a V.I.P. “Unfortunately, the enthusiasm around the game rapidly turned into a real ‘near miss’ which was harmful to a significant number of fans from both clubs,” the report said. The report raised new concerns about security preparations for next year’s Summer Olympics in Paris, with its authors describing events around the Champions League final as a “wake-up call” for Olympic organizers. That no lives were lost in the crushes outside the stadium gates, the investigators’ harshly critical report concluded, was only “a matter of chance.” Dangerous bottlenecks, packed entrances and ramps, and tear gas employed by the police — sometimes sprayed indiscriminately at groups of supporters that included children and disabled fans — added to the chaos. The investigation involved hundreds of interviews and the analysis of footage, including many hours of video shot by supporters caught up in the crushes as they tried to enter the stadium.

The predicted Tottenham team that could face AC Milan in the Champions League last 16 at San Siro.

ST: Harry Kane - Has found plenty of form to start 2023 but has scored only once in the Champions League this season. Will be returning to San Siro having won Serie A with Inter. CM: Pape Matar Sarr - Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is suspended and both Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur are out with long term injuries, leaving Spurs very short in central midfield. Will need to channel peak Heurelho Gomes at San Siro. He is fit now, however, and with few alternatives it's likely he'll make just his second ever Champions League start.

They have been ruthless this season, and I think that will be the difference here. Die Adler was the only team in this season’s Champions League to partake in the competition for the first time in the the UCL era. Fighting for a UCL spot in the Bundesliga, Frankfurt will be motivated for their meeting with Napoli. They are the only side left in the Champions League to have played in the qualifying rounds. This time around, the Italians have to be considered favourites. Goals are not hard to come by for Napoli, who have already scored 76 times at the time of writing. Even qualifying for the Champions League via the league for next year is looking unfavourable for Jürgen Klopp’s men. [going on another spending spree in January](https://playingfor90.com/2023/01/11/chelsea-land-joao-felix-loan/), the Blues have won just once this calendar year (1-4-3). Chelsea has more to lose here, as it is looking increasingly likely that a third Champions League triumph is the Blues’ only way back to the tournament next season. Despite both teams being regulars in Europe, this is the first time Club Brugge and Benfica will meet in UEFA club competition. For that, I will have to go with the Parisians in this one. In what promises to be a highly entertaining two legs, it is difficult to say who will progress from this one.

The massive Paris Saint-Germain vs. Bayern Munich clash highlights a fine slate, while Chelsea will look to right the ship and put their poor Premier League ...

Most likely to score a goal: Goals will be hard to come by in the match but singling out one person to find the back of the net, it's Joao Mario. Benfica will have chances all match due to Brugge's struggles as of late but Mignolet is a keeper that can stand on his head to save his defense. [In my bold predictions I make the case for why Chelsea might actually start scoring some goals](https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/champions-league-bold-predictions-chelsea-find-their-goals-bayern-munich-play-it-safe-a-surprise-champion/), but that is perhaps best saved for columns that include the very necessary "bold" in front of "predictions." Match prediction: Neither of these teams have particularly set the world alight in the last few months, but Chelsea in particular seem to have uncovered a heady cocktail of underwhelming performances and horrendous luck. Perhaps it is nothing more than the easy narrative but given his growth as his player, the attention that will be on him and how well suited his qualities are to Premier League opposition, does it not seem inevitable that Bellingham will shine the brightest? One matchup to watch: Jude Bellingham's drive and dynamism seems perfectly suited for a clash with a Chelsea midfield who might struggle to stay in the battle with the England international. Expect to see a focused and determined Christophe Galtier side raise their game by a few levels compared to some of the underwhelming displays they have produced of late. Man of the Match pick: Gianluigi Donnarumma has been in inspired form of late and it seems likely that the Italian will have to be at his absolute best if PSG are to have any hope of advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals. The Cameroon international has hit impressive form this season and it feels nailed on that he will find the net again here across the two legs in this tie. In fact, the Rossoneri faced a tough start of the year and only had two wins since the World Cup break while conceding ten goals in the last four games (four against Lazio, five against Sassuolo and one against Inter Milan). I expect the game to be very tactical and he's the one who can make the difference. One matchup to watch: After a difficult start of the year, right-back Theo Hernandez has proven again to be one of the best players in his role, providing a nice assist to Olivier Giroud in Friday's clash against Torino.

Antonio Conte is set to be without five of his Tottenham squad for Tuesday's Champions League Round of 16 game against AC Milan following a nightmare week in N17. Champions League rules stipulate that any player shown three yellow cards will have to sit out their next competition match. Dier and Lenglet are the two in immediate danger, though, and a caution in the San Siro will add to Conte's issues in terms of missing players for the second leg at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in three weeks' time.

All four Premier League clubs have their own on-pitch challenges right now but their financial might still dwarfs much of the competition at Europe's top ...

Right now, it does look like only Bayern or PSG can put it up to the Premier League – and they meet in the last 16. The World Cup could again be a factor in that, since the physical and mental fatigue for so many players will make it more difficult to be as strong on all fronts. That usually tends to tell, and is often forgiving for the wealthier side. [The problem is that PSG are not in that sort of form as a team](/sport/football/psg-wissam-ben-yedder-bayern-munich-kylian-mbappe-marseille-b2280521.html). It is one of Europe’s wealthiest clubs against a side in the third financial tier. The defending champions haven’t yet reached the heights that defiantly took them to victory in 2022, but then they didn’t rise to such levels last season until the last-16 second leg either. The Champions League is the big one missing, that can really deepen that legacy, and he is in the form to deliver it. [It is almost like their Serie A surge in that sense](/sport/football/napoli-juventus-result-score-serie-a-b2261973.html). The manner in which so much built up to Qatar for over a decade gave the tournament a “fin de siecle” feel, but it really just closed the first phase of modern sportswashing: the takeover. It is nevertheless a feeling that frames the knockout stages, especially amid the expectation that at least three English clubs will get through from the last 16 for the fourth time in five years. Leaving City hasn’t really been seriously considered so far, however, because he so wants to win the third Champions League of his career.

The Mancunian’s have still yet to win the competition despite having qualified for the competition in the past 12 seasons. Despite a slow climb up the Bundesliga table to their current sixth position, Eintracht are one of the weaker sides in the last 16 of the competition with Kolo Muani the great threat for the 2022 Europa League champions. FC Porto have won nine straight matches and have just conceded three goals since the start of December and haven’t lost since 21 October and they’re just five points off first place but will struggle against the Serie A giants. The Champions League offers the only hope of silverware for ‘Blues’ fans this season as the side still languish in midtable. Tottenham remain a hit-miss side under Antonio Conte and go from the high of beating Manchester City to a humbling defeat at Leicester with the 4-1 scoreline being the Italian coach’s most humbling in his time in english football. UEFA regulations only allow registering three new players per team so Graham Potter opted for Enzo Fernández, Mudryk and João Félix from the plethora of new acquisitions to join the London side over the winter transfer window.

It is likely that Oliver Skipp will get the nod in midfield, but at just 22 years of age this is a huge game for the inexperienced midfielder. While AC Milan have been in a slight lull domestically, the Italian giants should have too much for an injury-ravaged Tottenham side. Things grew worse for Tottenham on Saturday afternoon, when not only did they lose heavily 4-1 to a struggling Leicester City side, but also lost another vital defensive midfielder in the process.

It feels like one great performance is followed by two bad and it's hard to generate momentum playing that sort of football. After all, he did win his most recent trip to Anfield, in a 2-0 triumph as Everton boss in February 2021. He is one of only four players in Europe's top five leagues to have already surpassed 20 goals this season. They go in as firm favourites. Guardiola will hope their previous trip to Leipzig - a 2-1 defeat in 2021 - serves as a warning of the danger the Germans can pose if underestimated. These two have come to know each other pretty well. This is Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League though, and form thus feels somewhat irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. This is incredibly close to call - but with the Westfalenstadion one of the best atmospheres in European football, Dortmund will believe they can get the edge over the Blues. But whatever happens, this will be history for Parker as he is set to become the third English manager to take charge of a non-English team in the UEFA Champions League.

Let’s see if the Saints can Marsch to safety. Many believed Marsch was sacked too early by Leeds and perhaps it was the wrong club for him. Yes, Southampton have issues defensively just like Leeds did but we should see Saints improve drastically in attack and they will be a lot of fun to watch in the final months of the season.
