We Must Know The Truth Behind The Sad Scenes That Marred The UCL Final In Paris – Klopp

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to say that UEFA’s inquiry into the scenes which marred last season’s Champions League final vs Real Madrid must unearth the full truth. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the world wants to know why thousands of supporters missed the start of the game, and were even sprayed with tear gas by police instead.

Klopp added that a lot of people have taken back the lies they were spreading initially, and he feels a detailed investigation will help the future of football.

His words, “A lot of people have had to take back what they said before [about the fans],”

“Our people are behind it [the inquiry] and want to make sure that we really get the full truth in the end. That will be really important for the future because people shouldn’t be afraid of going to a Champions League final.”

“In their minds, it should just be excitement and joy, looking forward to it. Not ‘how can I get into the stadium?’ That shouldn’t be part of the preparation.”

“I think we are getting closer [to the full story],”

“In the first week or so, when I was on holiday, the distance between what happened and what was delivered was quite big.”

“You think, ok, because we were not outside. We didn’t know, but we got information first-hand because our families were and they had to go exactly through that path. The owners had to go through this.”

“If you haven’t experienced it yourself, you listen to the people who know and they will tell you the truth. I know the truth, I know what happened.”

“Why it happened? I think you can have a sense that it definitely was not perfectly organised.”

“It’s definitely true as well that we were all lucky that nothing else happened because, when you have a situation like this, everything, anything can pretty much happen.”

“That’s the positive outcome of it, but apart from that, when you speak of the Champions League final that day, it should be ‘how did we lose the game,’ but nobody speaks about that.”

“It is all about the circumstances around it. Yes, it might take time, but it’s important that it is clarified.”

“We can’t change it for this day anymore, but we can change it for all other days. It was a special situation because it was rather late that Paris knew it would host the final, but I think there was enough time.”

“Saint Denis, the stadium, they have a lot of events. It could have been better and they know it.”
