The leaders of Real Madrid have matured their reaction.

They waited until Friday to issue a press release in response to the incidents on the sidelines of the Champions League final won against Liverpool (1-0) on Saturday at the Stade de France.

First of all, the Merengue wonder about “the reasons which motivated this designation of the place of the final and which criteria were taken into consideration taking into account what happened that day”.

Saint-Denis had recovered this match on February 25, after the decision of UEFA to withdraw it in Saint-Petersburg, due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

Supporters "had to spend the night in the hospital"

"Some had to spend the night in hospital because of their injuries," the statement added, referring to numerous videos of assaults circulating on the Internet.

“Our supporters deserve an answer and that the light is shed on those responsible, so that such situations are eradicated from football and sport forever.

It had especially been a question of Liverpool supporters since the final, in particular because of the accusations of the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin against the fans of the Reds.

But the socios of Real were just as traumatized by these events which are a stain for a country supposed to embody excellence in the organization of sporting events, a year before the Rugby World Cup and two before the Olympic Games.
