On May 29, 1985, the Heysel stadium in Brussels was the scene of a terrible tragedy. 39 people lost their lives and more than 600 people were injured in clashes between supporters of Liverpool and Juventus, minutes before the final of the Champions League between the two clubs.
Almost an hour before the start of the game, the supporters of the Reds attacked the center reserved for Italian fans, creating an unbelievable chaos. The Old Lady eventually won the match, thanks to a goal from Michel Platini, from the penalty spot, who celebrated as if nothing had happened.
