Years pass, but the memory still hurts.
Since the year 1985, May 29th represents a day of silence and commemoration. The day we all come together to remember a shocking moment that transformed what should have been an evening of celebration, waiting for an unforgettable 90 minutes, into a nightmare that remains engraved in history.
Usually there are emotions of joy and enthusiasm that usually precede a great match like the one that was about to begin at the Heysel stadium, but instead that evening gave way to emotions of fear and pain.
The 29th May 1985 is a tragedy that continues to hurt even after 36 years. Today, just as then, and as every time we pronounce the word “Heysel”, our thoughts go to all the victims and their families of that unthinkable evening.
The memory is remains alive within us all.
