Former Juventus stars Michel Platini and Ian Rush teamed with thousands of Liverpool fans on Tuesday in an emotional ceremony to mark the 20th anniversary of the Heysel Stadium tragedy.
With Liverpool and Juventus facing each in the European Champions League quarterfinals, loud applause rang out around Anfield as the fans staged a brief ceremony as a mark of respect to the 39 fans who died. It was the first time the clubs met since the European Champions Cup final at Brussels, Belgium, on May 29, 1985, where rioting Liverpool fans caused a stampede that crushed many Italian fans.
When the players and fans were asked to stand in silence in memory of Pope John Paul II, who died on Saturday, Italian custom clashed with English expectations. |
