The debate continues to grow. On Saturday 28 May, as the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid took place in Paris, several events delayed the start of the match at the Stade de France. French authorities, through Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, the French Minister of Sports, blamed Liverpool. “He left his fans in the wild”. An accusation denied by Reds chairman Tom Werner. “Your comments were irresponsible, unprofessional and completely disrespectful”says in the preface.
“I can’t quite believe that a French government minister with enormous responsibility and influence could make a series of unproven statements on such an important issue even before a formal and independent process takes place.”He is protesting the American leader. “The events (…) were not only incredibly dangerous for all participants, but also raised serious questions about the organization and functioning of the event”explains the letter released by Liverpool Echo. Tom Werner claims to have “countless” fan comments “died of fright and victims of police harassment”. “These fans were treated like cattle”Regret.
“These allegations undermine the pursuit of truth and transparency, which should support the motivations of any organization or individual who wants to ensure that such unacceptable scenes never happen again. Your public stance is in itself a concern.”Demanding an apology from the minister, the Liverpool president concludes. On the evening of Monday (30 May), UEFA announced the launch of an investigation into extremism around the Stade de France.
