Uefa president Michael Platini has denied that Liverpool fans are the worst-behaved in Europe.

Uefa spokesman William Gaillard made the claim after trouble at the Champions League final, but Platini has now backtracked on those remarks.

'No they are not the worst behaved in Europe,' said Platini. 'It's official, they are not the worst behaved.'

Platini was speaking after a meeting with Sports minister Richard Caborn about the problems in Athens.
