The incidents that occurred at the Champions League final at the Stade de France on the outskirts of Paris are not related to the presence of Liverpool fans "around the stadium," French senators estimated, pointing rather to the "failures" of the authorities.

In presenting the conclusions of their report, Laurent Lafon, chairman of the French Senate's Culture Committee, and the chairman of the Law Committee, François Noël Buffet, emphasized the "failures" of the authorities in these events, attributable, according to them, to the Paris police department.

They also denounced an erroneous "analysis" by the Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanin, of what had happened.

Darmanin, who was quick to incriminate Liverpool's English fans before making excuses, claimed in his hearing before the senators that about 35,000 fans with counterfeit tickets, or without tickets, had shown up that night at the Stade de France.

Chairman of French Culture Committee sets the record straight

The chairman of the Culture Committee Laurent Lafon considered that this "partial and imprecise analysis" of Darmanin, the Minister of the Interior, after the incidents, placing the responsibility on the presence of counterfeit tickets, "is not correct”.
