Due to crowding outside the Stade de France and what UEFA initially referred to as “security concerns,” kickoff was twice postponed.
Video footage of tear gas being used on Liverpool fans has led to complaints from the team’s fans. Kroos has claimed that his wife, Jessica, and their children were among those detained at the stadium entrance.
UEFA attributed the incident to supporters using false tickets and ticketless fans attempting to force access, but it later announced an investigation to “get a clear picture and timeline of what occurred during the day.”
For a special newspaper edition created to collect money for the Toni Kroos Foundation, Kroos responded to 90 questions.
Among them, Jorg Jakob of Kicker questioned Kroos on whether UEFA ought to apologize to the supporters for what transpired at the Paris final.
According to Kroos, who has won the Champions League five times, “I don’t know if the investigations have already been concluded, but I do think it’s time for them to apologize,” according to an AS report.
“My wife and the kids waited at the stadium’s gates for two hours. She believes that neither of the two clubs’ fans displayed any aggressive behavior.
Additionally, they showed great consideration for the children in the crowd by being so kind.
“Just before I stepped onto the field, I got a message on my phone reassuring me that everyone had entered the stadium without any issues. The answer to the query is only yes.
Madrid eventually defeated Liverpool 1-0, winning the match after it had been delayed by 36 minutes.
According to UEFA, the independent inquiry team looking into the final turmoil must submit its full conclusions by November 2022.
