Turin, Liverpool and Brussels are today uniting in memory of the 39 innocent victims who lost their lives in the Heysel tragedy 30 years ago.
This evening will see the Juventus first-team squad, backroom staff, club employees and representatives of Liverpool Football Club honour the memories of the deceased during a special mass at Turin’s Chiesa della Gran Madre di Dio.
Earlier this morning, J-Museum president Paolo Garimberti and Sergio Brio attended a ceremony at the King Baudouin Stadium, formerly known as the Heysel Stadium, in Brussels.
In Liverpool, Gianluca Pessotto and Massimo Bonini joined the Reds’ captain on that night, Phil Neal, for a tribute at the Heysel plaque in Anfield’s Centenary Stand, with the Bianconeri duo laying 39 white lilies at the foot of the memorial.
