After the fiasco of the organization of the Champions League final, Saturday May 28 at the Stade de France, the question of responsibilities arises. UEFA, the French authorities and British supporters pass the buck.
The scenes of chaos parade on the front page of the international press, following the incidents which occurred near the Stade de France, Saturday May 28, on the occasion of the final of the Champions League. The French government and UEFA are currently adopting the same defense and incriminating the trafficking of counterfeit tickets among British supporters. In some images, we can see many individuals trying to infiltrate, but they do not have the paraphernalia of the typical English supporter.
Was there an organizational flaw? A first filter was put in place shortly after leaving the RER and managed by the organizer, UEFA. Around 6 p.m., three hours before the match, nearly 20,000 supporters are waiting. According to the images, the security personnel are few in number, and their main objective is to distinguish real from counterfeit notes and check bags. The place quickly turned into a bottleneck.
