LONDON : Nearly 900 Liverpool fans who attended last year's Champions League final in Paris have filed legal action against European soccer's governing body for personal injuries allegedly caused by chaos outside the stadium.
The firm told Reuters it has issued claims on behalf of 887 individuals and has a total of 1,076 clients. The governing body has apologised after initially blaming Liverpool fans for the mayhem, which delayed last year's final by 36 minutes after thousands of Liverpool supporters were unable to get into the Stade de France for the match against Real Madrid on May 28.
