For wearing a Liverpool shirt, he was suspended for two years

On 29 May 1985, Juventus and Liverpool were due to meet in the final of the European Cup, now known as the Champions League, at the Heysel stadium. Before the match, radical Reds supporters clashed with La Vecchia Signora fans, unleashing an avalanche that left a total of 39 dead and hundreds injured, an unfortunate event that is still remembered today to insult Juventus, as happened in the game against Fiorentina a few days ago.

The rivalry between these two Serie A teams sometimes goes beyond the passionate, with offensive chants or acts that insult the history or regrettable events of one of these institutions, the latter being used by a Fiorentina fan who showed up at the game wearing a Liverpool shirt and scarf, unfortunately in this case dragging along a minor who also appears in the photo wearing a Reds jersey.

Messages of dissatisfaction and annoyance were heard during the match and on social media, branding this act as a total lack of respect for those who lost their lives at Heysel. In response to this, the matter was quickly taken up and it is known that this pseudo-fan was sanctioned with a 2-year ban from the Italian stadium.

This type of irrational acts coming from the stands has been a somewhat common theme among Fiorentina fans, as prior to this incident with the person wearing a Liverpool shirt, in the game against Napoli a fan nearly slapped coach Luciano Spalletti when he approached the stands to exchange words with his attacker.

Painful memory

There is no doubt that the Gigliati fans have got out of control in recent Serie A matches, affecting not only their club but also indirectly involving another institution such as Liverpool, who have repeatedly deplored the events of more than 30 years ago.
