What specific security failures caused the chaos at the 2022 Champions League final, and what immediate impact did these failures have on fans?

French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin issued a public apology to Liverpool fans for the chaotic security failures at the 2022 Champions League final, admitting a flawed security plan and misjudgments about fan behavior. He acknowledged the initial accusations against Liverpool fans were inaccurate, shifting blame to local delinquents and inadequate planning. This apology comes three years after the event and follows an independent report that deemed UEFA primarily responsible for the near-catastrophic event.
