KENNY DALGLISH has urged Uefa to take a "look at themselves" after the treatment of fans at both the Europa and Champions League finals.
Both showpieces were marred by horrifying scenes involving supporters.
Rangers and Frankfurt fans suffered a shortage of food and water inside the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium in Seville, while concerns surrounding policing and body searches were also highlighted.
Meanwhile, Liverpool fans faced access issues that led to some being crushed and tear-gassed outside the Stade de France in Paris before Real Madrid’s 1-0 win last week.
Uefa have since apologised for their organisation of the Champions League final and Dalglish, who was in attendance, was shocked by the horrific scenes.
He wrote in the Sunday Post: “The scenes at last Saturday’s Champions League Final were totally unacceptable.
“What the Liverpool supporters had to go through was appalling.
“I was at the Stade de France, and the whole thing was an absolute shambles.
“I thought the fans showed great restraint and patience as they tried to get into the stadium to see the game, only to be faced by tear gas, pepper spray and what appeared local youths intent on causing mayhem.
“UEFA initially went into defensive mode, but have since offered an apology.
“They stated ‘No football fan should be put in that situation, and it must not happen again’. Absolutely correct.
“The fans caught up in the chaos deserved an apology and an explanation from UEFA.
“They could not be seen to undermine the supporters, and attempt to sweep what went on under the carpet.
“On the back of Rangers and Eintracht Frankfurt complaining about incidents around their Europa League Final in Seville, UEFA have got it badly wrong in their two showpiece games.
“I look forward to a detailed account of their findings. Internally, they need to take a good look at themselves.
“Moving forward, a good starting point should be to give clubs competing in the Finals more of a ticket allocation. Getting 20 per cent of the tickets available is just not on.
“It deprives loyal fans of seeing their team and, instead, too many tickets are given to random people.”
