Liverpool supporters condemn UEFA's 'sincere apology' for the Champions League final chaos after the under-fire governing body did not accept it was wrong to blame fans for the disorder

Liverpool fans have hit out at UEFA for its failure to accept it was wrong to blame supporters for the chaos that occurred before the Champions League final in its 'sincere apology' for the disorder outside the Stade de France.

A host of Liverpool supporters slammed the under-fire European governing body, which belatedly apologised 'to all spectators who had to experience or witness frightening and distressing events' - where fans, including women and children, were tear-gassed and pepper-sprayed prior to the match in Paris.

UEFA did not apologise for initially blaming the 'late arrival' of fans, thousands of whom had arrived at the stadium hours before kick-off, for the scenes that marred the game - a fact that was not lost on Liverpool supporters.
