Real Madrid reject UEFA's refund offer for Champions League final tickets

Real Madrid has rejected UEFA's plan to refund fans for last May's Champions League final in Paris.

Real Madrid

announced on Thursday that they have rejected UEFA's plan to refund fans the price of their ticket for the

Champions League

final in Paris.

The European champions have called UEFA plans “insufficient” and asked them to refund all attendees, due to “unacceptable” conditions at the game.

UEFA confirmed on Tuesday that they will refund all 19,618

Liverpool

fans who bought tickets for the Champions League final.

An independent report recently found UEFA "primarily responsible" for the chaotic scenes before the game at the Stade de France.

"Given the conclusiveness of the experts' findings and the seriousness of the events described, Real Madrid has been holding talks with UEFA with the aim of assessing the compensation that will be offered to fans,"

the statement read.

"Our club was entirely confident that these solutions would be in line with the seriousness of the events, the extent of the damage caused and UEFA's responsibility for them.

"Regrettably, our club believes that UEFA's proposal, officially announced last Tuesday, is insufficient.

"The content of the report stresses that all fans attending the final were victims of its inadequate organisation and their safety and security were compromised.

"The fact is that all the fans experienced an unacceptable delay in the start of the match. In addition, there was unacceptable insecurity both in accessing and leaving the stadium, as well as additional harm such as theft, assaults and threats.

"For this reason, Real Madrid has decided not to cooperate in the restricted compensation procedure proposed by UEFA, which we ask to redress the situation and assume full responsibility."
