UEFA says it will carry out a 'comprehensive' review into issues at last Saturday's Champions League final in Paris.
Liverpool supporters were tear-gassed after waiting in huge queues prior to the clash against Real Madrid at the Stade de France.
The debacle inevitably led to access problems and a delay to kick-off of 37 minutes.

The UK Government and Liverpool have demanded an investigation into why the issues occurred.
Several credible media sources were on the ground and have reiterated a complete lack of fault on the travelling support.
Instead, the issues have been attributed to a 'bottle-neck' on the approach to the ground and a lack of available support staff.
Despite the claims, French officials have completely rejected blame, instead focusing on ticket fraud as the primary reason for the scenes.
