French senators say the chaos outside the national stadium that marred the Champions League soccer final was due to a series of mistakes by police and officials and not because of the actions of previously blamed Liverpool fans. The senators made a series of recommendations to fix problems ahead of the Rugby World Cup next year and the 2024 Olympics that France will host. The findings of a report into the May 28 final were released Wednesday after the fiasco drew worldwide attention to heavy-handed policing and raised questions about how France manages security at big events. Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 in the final.
