Liverpool have had to 'settle' for the double of League and FA Cup after missing out on the bigger prizes of the Premier League and Champions League. UEFA announced on Monday it was opening an "independent report" into the security chaos before the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid at the Stade de France in Paris "UEFA wishes -- and needs -- to understand what happened during the course of the day of the final, and determine lessons learnt to ensure there is no repeat of the actions and events of that day," it said in a statement. "UEFA wishes to sincerely apologise to all spectators who had to experience or witness frightening and distressing events in the build-up to the UEFA Champions League final at the Stade de France on May 28, 2022 in Paris, on a night which should have been a celebration of European club football. Lausanne: UEFA apologised to spectators for the first time on Friday for their "frightening and distressing" experience ahead of the Champions League final, saying no football fan should go through such mayhem. Thousands of supporters were unable to access European club football's showpiece match between despite having genuine tickets, in chaotic scenes that saw the French police use tear gas at close range even against children.

“Football has transmitted an image to the world which is far away from the values and goals which it should pursue,” Madrid said. UEFA initially blamed the chaos and violence on fans arriving late, then blamed holders of fake tickets. “No football fan should be put in that situation, and it must not happen again.”

The sides will be in Nations League action again on Monday with France away to Croatia and Denmark in Austria. Benzema, on the same ground where he won the Champions League with Real Madrid last weekend, collected the ball on the right, played a one-two with Nkunku and left the Danish defence for dead before slotting in on the occasion of his 95th cap. This was the first of four matches they will play this month in League A, Group 1 before their players can depart on holiday, and the game did not really come to life in the first half.

UEFA finally issue apology after horror show outside the Stade de ... (Yardbarker)

After nearly a week of standing by the line of blaming Liverpool fans for being late, UEFA have finally apologised for the events in Paris. Here's the.

A player homering from both sides of the plate in the same game — let alone the same inning — is extremely rare in baseball. The combine is an attempt to provide a holistic assessment of draft-eligible players to all teams in a fair and equitable manner. It’s supposed to separate the people that can do it from the people that can’t do it. According to Doug Lesmerises of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, Day spoke to be around 100 members of the business community in Columbus on Thursday and unveiled an NIL Corporate Ambassador Program. The program seeks to connect local businesses with Buckeyes players for endorsement deals, and Day hopes there will be plenty. Nike founder Phil Knight and Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Alan Smolinisky are in talks to purchase the Portland Trail Blazers and have already made a written offer of more than $2B for the franchise, according to a report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. For 30 years, the Trail Blazers were owned by Microsoft founder Paul Allen until his death in 2018. They aren’t the type of team to completely dominate a series, which means that the Warriors should be in the driver’s seat from tip-off. WynnBET has moved the Warriors from -155 favorites to +140 underdogs to win the Finals. Although this is an unusual spot for the Warriors to be in – only their third Game 1 loss of the Steve Kerr era – they are still extremely live to win the Finals. The silver lining for Warriors fans is that they have actual value to win it all. In the last 10 NBA Finals, four teams have come back from a 1-0 deficit to win the series. In the Finals, teams that go up 1-0 win the series 70.7% of the time. The Review will start immediately and should be concluded within the shortest possible time-frame needed to produce a comprehensive review of the events. The Warriors got beat at their own game in Game 1 of the Finals. The Celtics dominated the fourth quarter, splashing threes from every area on the floor and outscored the Warriors 40-16 in the fourth. Boston now leads 1-0 and is now the favorite to win the series.

First-Hand Experiences of the Chaos at the 2022 Champions ... (The Liverpool Offside)

Two different stories of events on the ground at the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Social media quickly confirmed that all was not well at the stadium, and as we tried to watch the pre-match ceremonies it was hard not to notice the empty seats in the Stade de France. That Madrid fans were in full color and Liverpool fans were missing. These stories need to be told - especially those of people like Brian Gurka and his friends, who did nothing wrong except to buy a ticket to the biggest match in the world and travel to see his team play. Traveling to a city far from home to experience even a sliver of one of the biggest matches in world football. Around 2:30pm the police began to let more people in and we made our way further into the Fan Zone and through a second security checkpoint - I received a very thorough pat down from a woman security officer - and were allowed into the Cour de Vincennes. With a stage set up and at least four giant screens, there was plenty of room for the thousands of fans that began to fill the fanzone. We did our best to support, but the atmosphere from the stadium and knowledge that there had been problems seemed to infect us. “The atmosphere that night was so weird I don’t know how else to describe it,” he said of his experience of the final when he finally did make it to his seat. Gurka could see people who didn’t have any signs of being Liverpool fans - no shirts or scarves or club colors - climbing the fences and pushing through the patient if frustrated Liverpool fans to try to force their way through the one turnstile and open door. The group split up, Gurka and two more heading for their assigned Gate Z entry and two others heading to the Gate B entry. Unfortunately it is not an uncommon story, joining thousands of others from peaceful fans who made the trek from around the globe and spent thousands to see their favorite club play only to be met with aggression. And I have the privilege of a platform to share those stories when they might have otherwise not been recorded. That was the story from the people on the ground, fans outside the stadium as well as journalists in Paris for the match. I was also lucky to escape most of the trauma that occurred throughout the city that night.
