Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson says the outcome of an independent report into last season's Champions League final in Paris must be a "turning point" for how fans are treated.

Fans were penned in and teargassed outside Stade de France at the game against Real Madrid on 28 May 2022.

The report ruled Uefa bore "primary responsibility" for the chaotic scenes, adding it was "remarkable" no-one died.

"The sooner action is taken, the better," said Henderson.

The England midfielder tweeted: "The Paris report needs to be a turning point for the treatment of football fans. No one should have their safety jeopardised by inadequate organisation."

Liverpool want Uefa to "fully and transparently" fulfil recommendations made in the report and action must be taken "to ensure there are no more near misses".
