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. 

I was reading Liverpool also have a case for claiming for compensation against UEFA for missing out on the Champions League, not sure how true that is though

It's a weird one. I know that if Liverpool take legal action we'll get non-stop harassment from fans from other teams insiting we're blaming UEFA for our poor showing in the final. 

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.

He's likely to miss out on the France squad due to lack of game time AND he got dropped by Nike. 

On the plus side, we probably don't need to buy another CB as we'll have Lovren, Sakho and Matip as the main guys, Toure may still stay and there are others who can do a job there as well.
