UEFA pledged to carry out recommendations from the report, and that has now means millions of pounds is to be handed back to the 19,618 Liverpool supporters who attended the game.

A statement from UEFA read: “We have taken into account a huge number of views expressed both publicly and privately and we believe we have devised a scheme that is comprehensive and fair.
