#CLFINAL @LFCHELP @SPIRITOFSHANKLY.MERPOL was deployed to this evenings match. Can only describe it as the worst European match I've ever worked or experienced. I thought the behaviour of the fans at the turnstiles was exemplary in shocking circumstances. You were not late 100%.

From the FCO - Quote from a local journalist in Kyiv "LFC may have lost the game but the fans won the hearts of Kyiv's residents. We are very lucky that Liverpool made it to the Final. It was them who brought festivity and a great atmosphere to the city" @LFC @SPIRITOFSHANKLY.

⚽ Just to be 100% clear. Any chants in relation to 'murderers' or 'always the victim' are football tragedy related and totally unacceptable. Behind them are people who have suffered unimaginable pain. Were possible, positive police and stewarding action will be taken. @LFCHelp.
