UEFA to refund Liverpool fans who had tickets for chaotic Champions League final

UEFA announced on Tuesday that the 19,618 Liverpool fans who had tickets for last year's chaotic Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris, France are eligible for a refund.

Large numbers of 'Reds' supporters were denied entrance to Stade de France for last May's match, while some were sprayed with tear gas before subsequent announcements inside the stadium blamed fans for a delay to the kick-off time.

A recent report into the incident found that "primary responsibility" lay with UEFA, which announced in a statement on Tuesday: "All fans who according to the access control data did not enter the stadium before 21:00 CEST, or who were not able to enter the stadium at all, will be eligible for a refund."
