Liverpool Chairman Tom Werner has demanded an apology from the French sports minister after she said fans with fake tickets and the club's handling of their supporters were responsible for the trouble that marred Saturday's Champions League final.
On Monday, sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera said that the initial problems were caused by Liverpool fans without valid tickets and accused the club of letting their supporters"out in the wild". Werner hit back late on Monday in a letter to Oudea-Castera, describing her comments as"irresponsible, unprofessional, and wholly disrespectful" to the fans affected.
"On behalf of all the fans who experienced this nightmare I demand an apology from you, and assurance that the French authorities and UEFA allow an independent and transparent investigation to proceed."
Luckily it was played in Russia as planned earlier, if not this people (Europe) would have pinned blame onto Russia!!!🙏🏾
