 The Austrian manufacture of the turf ‘Richter’ responded to the French grass association officials by saying “the turf for the stadiums in Lille and Marseille was delivered in top condition" and that “the turf placement and further care were handled by French companies and no one other than the French grounds-people had control over the grounds condition”.In a statement, UEFA rejected the criticism against Hayden as baseless and stated they were satisfied with his work.Before the final match started, the stadium was invaded by Silver Y moths, which caused some irritation to the players, staff and coaches.
