More than 1,000 supporters still waiting on settlement claimsLegal firm Leigh Day criticises Uefa’s lack of action
Uefa has made “no meaningful efforts” to settle claims on behalf of 1,200 Liverpool fans affected by the chaos surrounding the 2022 Champions League final, a law firm has said.
European football’s governing body announced last Friday evening it had reached a “full and final settlement” with supporters represented by Pogust Goodhead and Bingham Long who had made personal injury claims. An independent report published last year found Uefa bore “primary responsibility” for the failures which almost led to European club football’s biggest occasion in Paris in May 2022 becoming a “mass fatality catastrophe”.
