We in Liverpool have called for an investigation into what happened last Saturday in Paris. There is no report. I think these are two very different things. We wrote a letter to UEFA again and asked specific questions. We want to clarify the details of these cases. Hogan said on Liverpool’s official website: Research.
“We feel it is important for us to start the investigation immediately and reveal the details clearly,” he added.
French Interior Minister Gerald Daronan, in turn, blamed Liverpool fans for the incident, saying that 30,000 or 40,000 of them did not have a valid ticket to the match.

At the end of his speech, he said: “According to my understanding, Real Madrid will also announce details about this through its channels.”
