UEFA announced on Tuesday that it would provide a full refund to all Liverpool fans who purchased tickets for the 2022 Champions League final.

The decision was made after a review of the event highlighted a series of organorganisationalures that nearly resulted in a disaster outside the Stade de France.

The refund scheme will cover all 19,618 Liverpool tickets, with fans receiving the full ticket cost back from the European football governing body. Ticket prices for the final in Paris last May ranged from £59.40 to £585.70.

Liverpool was involved in the decision-making process from the start and influenced discussions. This refund comes after Liverpool fans were subjected to indiscriminate tear gas spraying, which led to crushing around the stadium before the game but were initially blamed by UEFA and the French government for causing the disturbances.

Both later rowed back on those claims with a UEFA-commissioned report praising their conduct and saying the organisational failures from the two governing bodies could have had catastrophic consequences.
