Uefa to refund Liverpool fans for tickets after Champions League ... (The Guardian)

Uefa has confirmed that all 19618 Liverpool fans who bought tickets from the club's allocation for last May's Champions League final in Paris are eligible ...

He praised the work done by Spirit of Shankly and the Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association, who said in a joint statement: “With a promise to reimburse supporters, Uefa have gone some way to acknowledging their part in the fiasco. Uefa said those supporters would need to meet its refund criteria and that the scheme covered those “most affected when accessing the Stade de France”. It said it would “reimburse Liverpool FC the total value of these tickets and the club will then process the refunds to its supporters”. Uefa did not just ruin the biggest event in the football season, people were injured and traumatised and any compensation needs to reflect that. We believe the term ‘refund’, in its broadest sense, does not go far enough in providing redress or acknowledging the true harm suffered by those at an event that should have been safe for all to attend.” Its general secretary, Theodore Theodoridis, said the scheme was “comprehensive and fair” and recognised fans’ “negative experiences”.

UEFA Champions League picks, predictions, odds: Experts split on ... (CBSSports.com)

On Wednesday, PSG and Bayern Munich face off on as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and company have their backs against the wall, looking to overcome a 1-0 deficit ...

Match prediction: Already having the lead coming into the second leg, Benfica will be able to take things at their pace passing their way to another 2-0 victory to echo the opening leg. Man of the Match pick: Rafael Leao - There are a lot of rumors about his potential Premier League move in the future and this is a great opportunity for him to shine on such a big stage. Only facing four shots on target during the opening leg in Belgium, he'll have more to do during an away trip in Libson. Dortmund tend to share the goals around, their scorer could be anyone but with four in his last five Bundesliga games Julian Brandt seems a tempting choice. This is going to be a big chance for him and Spurs will rely a lot on their club's top scorer against the Italian side. Antonio Conte's side need to score if they want to have chances to go to the next round but will also likely expose themselves defensively. Reus' own fitness is often fleeting but when he is available he tends to be worth the wait and has provided two goals and three assists. Antonio Conte's side are coming from a heavy defeat away against Wolves and need to react in the Champions League's second leg this Wednesday. Most likely to score a goal: Mbappe -- The opening leg only really came to life when Mbappe came on and his introduction transformed PSG. Fikayo Tomori – Tottenham will definitely need to score soon during the match if they want to have chances to make it to the quarter finals of this season. The only concern over Mendes might be his ability to go the full 90 and potentially beyond given his recent knock against Lille. The first leg was all about Mbappe and he only came on as a second half substitute before ripping into Bayern with the help of Nuno Mendes.
