The federation apologized to all spectators “who faced or witnessed frightening and sad events before the Champions League finals began at the Stade de France, on a night that should have been a celebration of European football clubs.”
UEFA said it had commissioned an independent monitoring committee headed by Thiago Brandão Rodríguez of Portugal to “identify the shortcomings and responsibilities of all parties involved in the organization of the final and take lessons that need to be learned to ensure that happened will not be repeated. . ”
The match, which ended in unanswered victory for Real Madrid, was delayed by 36 minutes due to fans rushing into the stadium and thousands of people entering without tickets or holding fake tickets.
