To return to the OP, let’s hope it all goes pear-shaped and they get their arses kicked. Secondly, I’m sure it will be a small fine, a warning of future behavior, blah, blah, blah.
But, one thing we all already know, the game should have been abandoned and awarded to as. 3-0 City win. It isn’t the only thing that fans understand, especially when the police standby and allow it to happen right in front of them
No-one was under any illusions that a premeditated, pre advertised, and even egged on by their manager, attack WAS going to take place against our players before the game. Simply because none of the bottles managed to get through the windows, and the bus driver was able to finally get through the gauntlet, should not matter.
What should matter is that their fans attacked the opposition players coach and both Liverpool and UEFA should have been in the business of protecting the players. Liverpool were not, and UEFA will not.
The standard should be that anyone who throws something at the opposition coach/players is arrested, banned for life from UEFA games, and the club loses the game 3-0, and all away supporters are refunded their costs. Then again, they don’t really care about stopping it.
Had this been the Barca coach and Messi been injured (like Bartra was for Dortmund), and Barca lost, it would be on a 24 hr loop on Sky/BT, and UEFA would have stepped in immediately.
As they say, “no blood, no foul!” Ridiculous.
