“With a promise to reimburse supporters, UEFA have gone some way to acknowledging their part in the fiasco. Spirit of Shankly (SOS) issued a statement in conjunction with the Liverpool Disabled Supporters Society, reading: “We welcome today’s announcement from UEFA. In a statement on Tuesday, Tony Winterburn – a partner at Pogust Goodhead, the law firm running the case against UEFA on behalf of Liverpool fans who attended the Champions League final – said the refund scheme is insufficient compensation. A UEFA statement on the refund said: “UEFA will implement a special refund scheme for fans who were most affected when accessing the Stade de France on 28 May 2022. “We recognize the negative experiences of those supporters on the day and, with this scheme, we will refund fans who had bought tickets and who were the most affected by the difficulties in accessing the stadium,” UEFA General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis said.

UEFA will cover more than 19000 tickets after an independent inquiry determined a crush of fans could have led to disaster.

[said in a statement](https://thefsa.org.uk/news/uefa-announces-plan-to-refund-liverpool-fans-caught-up-in-final-chaos/) that UEFA’s decision is “both unprecedented and hugely welcome, and builds concretely on the apology they extended to Liverpool fans earlier. The report from the independent inquiry was at odds with initial claims by UEFA and French authorities, who blamed ticketless fans for the crush. Finally, UEFA will offer refunds to all fans who purchased accessibility tickets along with those of their accompanying persons.” “We have taken into account a huge number of views expressed both publicly and privately and we believe we have devised a scheme that is comprehensive and fair,” UEFA General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis said in the statement. “We value the input from the Liverpool FC supporter organizations Spirit of Shankly and Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association as well as the open and transparent dialogue throughout this period. Many gave up trying to enter the stadium as the chaos and crush of fans intensified.

Refunds will also be paid out to Real Madrid supporters and neutral fans who meet certain criteria set out by UEFA, the Union of European Football Associations.

An apology to Liverpool supporters for “the experiences of many of them” and the unjust blaming was made last month by Theodoridis. UEFA statements during the chaos and after the game wrongly blamed Liverpool fans for arriving at the stadium late and using fake tickets to try to gain entry. “We recognise the negative experiences of those supporters on the day and with this scheme we will refund fans who had bought tickets and who were the most affected by the difficulties in accessing the stadium.”

On Wednesday, PSG and Bayern Munich face off on as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and company have their backs against the wall, looking to overcome a 1-0 deficit ...

Match prediction: Already having the lead coming into the second leg, Benfica will be able to take things at their pace passing their way to another 2-0 victory to echo the opening leg. Man of the Match pick: Rafael Leao - There are a lot of rumors about his potential Premier League move in the future and this is a great opportunity for him to shine on such a big stage. Only facing four shots on target during the opening leg in Belgium, he'll have more to do during an away trip in Libson. Dortmund tend to share the goals around, their scorer could be anyone but with four in his last five Bundesliga games Julian Brandt seems a tempting choice. This is going to be a big chance for him and Spurs will rely a lot on their club's top scorer against the Italian side. Antonio Conte's side need to score if they want to have chances to go to the next round but will also likely expose themselves defensively. Reus' own fitness is often fleeting but when he is available he tends to be worth the wait and has provided two goals and three assists. Antonio Conte's side are coming from a heavy defeat away against Wolves and need to react in the Champions League's second leg this Wednesday. Most likely to score a goal: Mbappe -- The opening leg only really came to life when Mbappe came on and his introduction transformed PSG. Fikayo Tomori – Tottenham will definitely need to score soon during the match if they want to have chances to make it to the quarter finals of this season. The only concern over Mendes might be his ability to go the full 90 and potentially beyond given his recent knock against Lille. The first leg was all about Mbappe and he only came on as a second half substitute before ripping into Bayern with the help of Nuno Mendes.

Bayern deserved to win in Paris, but they'll remember how the momentum completely shifted after Kylian Mbappe entered midway through the second half. Win by three or more goals: Club Brugge advance to quarterfinals❌ Win by two goals: Extra time (and, if necessary, penalties)❌ If teams are level on goals after 180 minutes, they will head to extra time, and penalties if necessary, to determine a winner. After conceding early in Italy, Tottenham arguably did well to head back home with only a narrow loss. - Win by one goal: Extra time (and, if necessary, penalties) One more week, and we'll be down to just eight teams in the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League as the Round of 16 second legs unfold.

Key players, rankings, ones to watch: all you need to know about the UEFA Champions League quarter-finalists.

Potter has built on the foundations of Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea at their best, typically playing with a robust back three and the double No6 pairing in front. The Portuguese playmaker was signed on loan from Atlético de Madrid in January and is a proven player at this level. He weighs in with goals and also contributes defensively, working hard in the press. Having made his name at Salzburg, the former midfielder coached Leverkusen in his native Germany and more recently was in charge of PSV Eindhoven, his side winning the 2021/22 Dutch Cup. However, if Benfica hit their ceiling in the quarter-finals last time, this season they have a more balanced squad and even without world champion Enzo Fernández (who joined Chelsea in the winter) they look sharp, patient and clinical. Reaching the last eight in successive seasons is a significant achievement for a team from outside Europe's to five leagues.
