Real Madrid will not co-operate with UEFA's refund procedure for fans who attended last year's Champions League final, the LaLiga club said on Thursday, stating that the compensation proposed by the governing body is"insufficient".
French police were filmed using tear gas on fans, including women and children. Although UEFA initially blamed the Merseyside club's fans for the mayhem, the governing body later apologised following the release of an independent review. UEFA said Real Madrid fans and neutral supporters who met the refund criteria would be processed via its customer service."Real Madrid has been holding talks with UEFA with the aim of assessing the compensation that will be offered to the fans," Madrid said in a statement.
"Regrettably, our club believes that UEFA's proposal ... is insufficient. It merely consists of the reimbursement of the ticket price, which is also subject to the fulfilment of a series of requirements, including providing proof of the time of access to the stadium."Madrid added that an online assistance service would be set up for fans to make"appropriate claims" against UEFA.
