Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits his family were caught up in the Champions League final chaos in Paris.
Klopp insisted innocent supporters only narrowly avoided a much bigger disaster than the one which unfolded at the Stade de France because of the catalogue of mistakes made by the authorities.
"We all know the big events Paris has got coming up in the next few years, but this is a good example of how it should not be," he explained. "These kinds of things need to be sorted and clarified, definitely.
"First and foremost for the reason that it cannot happen again. I think we were really lucky that more did not happen - we have to make sure it does not happen again at all."
Klopp went on to say: "In the end, I felt for them [the supporters] – and they are passionate Liverpudlians – that the smallest problem we had that night was that we lost the game. Imagine that around the Champions League final. Crazy. It says it all.
"It's why everyone, the authorities, have to make sure this does not happen again. It was clear where it was (held) was a problem. I think in Paris, the authorities would have known about the regional issues there. UEFA decided pretty quick that it will be in Paris.
"There were other cities, obviously, where it could have been held. I understand that they got the information pretty late. So how to organise it?
"You need somewhere it is easy to organise – and UEFA and Paris, this is not the first time they have worked together, all these kind of things. I'm 100 per cent sure that nobody made a mistake intentionally. It's not that everyone thought: 'Ah, pfft, who cares how supporters get in!' But the mistakes still happened and now we have to sort it."
