Blatter critical of Lens' stadium

Fans were crushed against metal fences during last week's match.

And Blatter said: "In Lens, there are fences still, and it should not be permitted to play Champions League matches in such a stadium.

"I cannot understand those who organise the Champions League accept a stadium like Lens to play such a match."

Uefa's control and disciplinary body will discuss the safety and security issues on 22 March.

Blatter added that since the Hillsborough disaster Britain had set a great example by removing fences and using all-seater stadia.

He said: "It should be an example for everywhere else in the world. There is comfort and security in the stadia where everyone is seated and you have no fences. "

"If this was applied to all the other big leagues some would not face the problems they are facing now."
