“Institutional defensiveness, putting reputation and self-interest above truth and responsibility, prevents progressive change,” the report said. The Champions League final was moved to Paris at three months’ notice after UEFA stripped Russia of hosting the game in St. Many fans were fired on with tear gas by police before the game, which was delayed by nearly 40 minutes. “On the evidence, the panel has concluded that the senior management of UEFA Events marginalized the UEFA S&S Unit,” the report said. “UEFA’s lack of oversight upon delegation of private safety and security matters, deference of all such matters in the public space to policing authorities, and simply not following its own safety, security and service requirements, was a recipe for the failures which occurred,” the report said. An apology to Liverpool supporters for “the experiences of many of them” and the unjust blaming was made Monday by UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis.

The findings of the "independent report" should lead to the removal of figures in high positions. "It's been over eight months of work by the independent panel and it is only right and proper to publish the contents of the report to our supporters appropriately. Finally, the report blasted UEFA and French security forces for deleting security footage of the incidents surrounding the stadium. Champions League knockout stage play also begins this week, meaning the report would be further minimised in coverage of European competition. “The panel is also troubled by a number of stark differences as to the facts of what happened, and a general default position of blaming the Liverpool supporters, without any proper evidential basis. As the days progressed and more disturbing facts were released, UEFA continued to ascertain that supporters were to blame for the disturbances. The independent report made it clear that no evidence exists to support that claim, and blames UEFA for spreading disinformation. It was unclear at the time what the reason for the use of tear gas was, but even [some journalists were inadvertently caught](http://twitter.com/JBurtTelegraph/status/1530635709056417792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) in the crossfire. Furthermore, the report claimed that while Liverpool supporters were initially blamed by UEFA for causing the disturbances, the opposite was in fact true. Meanwhile, [some reported](http://twitter.com/Alvarez/status/1530622002242936833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) that pickpocketing was rampant in the crowded environment. “The panel has concluded that UEFA, as event owner, bears primary responsibility for failures which almost led to disaster,” the report stated, identifying UEFA's absence from the event's security preparations and planning as a key failure. “It is remarkable that no one lost their life," the report reads.

Neither was a ‘black swan’ event, or the result of a ‘perfect storm’1 . The parallels between Hillsborough 1989 and Paris 2022 are palpable. In the judgment of the Panel, the different outcomes were a matter of chance: in one nearly a hundred died, the other none, but through no merit of those in charge.”

It said UEFA’s president, Aleksander Ceferin, was asked to make a call on delaying the kickoff even though he had not been in the match control room or in contact with security officials; he had been in a meeting with the King of Spain in a V.I.P. “Unfortunately, the enthusiasm around the game rapidly turned into a real ‘near miss’ which was harmful to a significant number of fans from both clubs,” the report said. The report raised new concerns about security preparations for next year’s Summer Olympics in Paris, with its authors describing events around the Champions League final as a “wake-up call” for Olympic organizers. That no lives were lost in the crushes outside the stadium gates, the investigators’ harshly critical report concluded, was only “a matter of chance.” Dangerous bottlenecks, packed entrances and ramps, and tear gas employed by the police — sometimes sprayed indiscriminately at groups of supporters that included children and disabled fans — added to the chaos. The investigation involved hundreds of interviews and the analysis of footage, including many hours of video shot by supporters caught up in the crushes as they tried to enter the stadium.
