UEFA has offered its “sincere apologies” to fans after violent scenes at the Champions League final in Paris.
European football’s governing body said: “No football fan should be put in that situation, and it must not happen again.”
The chaos outside the stadium was widely condemned in the UK, and earlier today Real Madrid came out to urge authorities to explain why supporters were left “helpless and defenceless”.
Liverpool lost 1-0 to Real in last Saturday’s match at the Stade de France, which saw some Reds fans pepper-sprayed an tear-gassed.
French authorities said problems were caused by large numbers of Liverpool supporters with fake tickets.
UEFA announced an independent review earlier this week but has now set out the terms of reference,
It said it would aim to understand what happened in the build-up to the final and “what lessons should be learned” to ensure it does not happen again.
The review will “establish a full picture and timeline of what occurred during the day, both within the stadium and the surrounding areas, including examining spectator flows to the stadium via the various access points”, said UEFA.
Plans related to security, mobility and ticketing ahead of the game will all be examined, as will how prepared authorities were to stage the final.
