So what happens here? Rumours that Sakho has already started legal action against UEFA - Nike dropped him immediately so guessing he's losing a few $$$s.
My take on it though is that while you cannot prove Sakho would have made a different (especially as his replacement Toure was immense that night) you can also argue that you cannot prove he wouldn't have. As a Liverpool fan, of course I'd like compo at the very least (and I'm sure LFC would swap any financial compensation for a CL or even a Europa place) but more than anything, Sakho deserves an apology.
