Daniel Ribeiro and Luis Silva, appointed to work on the ‘independent review’ into the Champions League final, have both worked extensively for Uefa
to have worked “as Uefa consultant for stadium operations for the European Championships in 2004, 2008 & 2012”.
Uefa has promised that the review, set up without consultation on 30 May, two days after the match at the Stade de France in Paris, will fully and independently investigate all the circumstances that caused the showpiece final between Real Madrid and Liverpool to be delayed and descend into a harrowing nightmare for many supporters.
However, Uefa’s review itself has been beset by doubts from Liverpool and the club’s supporters about its independence and capability. In his role as a Portuguese education minister responsible for sport, Rodrigues worked closely with the FPF, whose president, Fernando Gomes, is a prominent member of Uefa’s executive committee and has
with the Uefa president, Aleksander Ceferin. The former FPF chief executive, Tiago Craveiro, who worked closely with Rodrigues in that role, moved in March to become a strategic adviser to Ceferin at Uefa.at Uefa under Ceferin, focused on the appointment last year of Zeljko Pavlica, the president’s close friend from their native Slovenia, to head the safety and security department, which is responsible for overseeing safety at Uefa matches, including the Champions League final.
