In the aftermath of the Heysel massacre, Liverpool were severely sanctioned, and they were banned from European competitions for seven years. At the same time, other English clubs were also banned for up to five years, and these punishments were all "requested" by Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady at the time. At that time, the whole of England was worried about the problem of football hooliganism, and had been waiting for an opportunity to crack down on the connivance of football hooligans and clubs in England. Margaret Thatcher even said: "The football hooligans who caused this incident are discrediting the whole of Britain." ”

After a lengthy investigation by the Belgian judiciary, four years later, the football hooligans who brought Britain to shame finally got the verdict they deserved. In 1989, after a five-month trial, 14 of the 26 Liverpool fans in the dock were convicted of manslaughter.

However, after some investigation by some investigative agencies and the media, the general view is now that this football tragedy was not as simple as a conflict caused by football hooligans, in fact, the tragedy could have been avoided because the disrepair of the stadium was the main cause.

Belgium, who were in charge of managing the Heysel Stadium at the time, were not punished, which is unbelievable now. The stadium was built in 1930 and was one of the main buildings built in Belgium for the 1935 World Expo. In 1985, after 55 years of wind and rain, the Heysel Stadium had not undergone major maintenance for many years, and most of the stadium's facilities began to collapse, leaving the stadium in a state of "hopelessness". Arsenal had previously played at the stadium, and in the words of the Arsenal club at the time, Heisel was not a stadium, but a "giant garbage pit".

On the day of the game, a large number of fans flocked to Heysel Stadium, and those who did not have tickets could even break through the walls. At that time, the exterior wall of Heysel Stadium was made of slag bricks, which was so loose that fans could even kick a hole in the wall with their feet. Liverpool players, when recalling the tragedy, invariably mentioned that the stadium's facilities were too poor. Since then, a judge has investigated the Heysel massacre and held that Belgium should be held responsible for the Heysel massacre, but the response was only silence.

……

In addition, UEFA is considered another 'accomplice' in the tragedy, and although the disaster has become "the darkest hour of all UEFA competitions", UEFA's indifference is alarming. Before the game, Juventus president Bonipeti and Liverpool CEO Robinson both urged UEFA to change the venue, with Barcelona's Camp Nou and Madrid's Bernabeu both available to host the Champions League final, while the Heysel Stadium was in danger of collapsing due to disrepair. But UEFA rejected the two clubs' reasonable demands.

Two hours after the Heysel massacre, the opening whistle was blown for the game that should have been canceled, and the bodies of 39 victims were left alone in the parking lot. According to the statements given by UEFA and the Brussels police at the time, they followed the logic of making a decisive decision to play the game at the right time, preemptively attacking, and avoiding further expansion of the riots due to further delays. At that moment, it was as if football was no longer part of a civilized society, but a different world completely dehumanized.

Juventus was the biggest victim of the Heysel tragedy, their fans paid a heavy price in their lives, and Liverpool on the other side also suffered a heavy price, when Liverpool, who dominated European football at that time, was punished with a seven-year ban, and the Liverpool dynasty fell.

After many years, both sides began to look back on this tragedy with a more rational attitude.

2015 marks the 30th anniversary of the Heysel massacre.

This time, Liverpool and Juventus met again in the Champions League after many years, England and Italy reached a tacit understanding before the game, the two sides did not exaggerate hatred, the theme is to remember the victims, the past does not forget the future, and hopes that the game can be played in a relatively peaceful environment.

The official tone of UEFA is also a tribute to the tragedy of Heather.

Hopefully, Liverpool and Juventus will be able to remember the victims with a good game.

In Liverpool's media, it is also a tribute to the Heisel tragedy, and Liverpool fans have also taken the initiative to say that they can accept Juventus fans who have not booked a hotel to stay at home.

In such a peaceful atmosphere, Pogba's words are indeed inappropriate.

……

"What's the matter with you?" Back at the hotel, Juventus captain Gianluigi Gianluigi Buffon reprimanded Pogba.

"What's wrong with me?" Pogba looked confused and a little unhappy at the same time, "Am I not right?" ”

The thing is very simple, Pogba only knows that Juventus once defeated Liverpool in the Champions League final and won the European championship, but Pogba does not know anything about the Heysel tragedy behind that final, so he will say those words without concealment.

Juventus quickly made a statement, Pogba's remarks were just the player's desire to win, and he had no other meaning, hoping that the media would not over-interpret it.

Liverpool also expressed their understanding and said that they would not dwell on this matter.

The media on both sides have also received notes from their respective clubs, hoping to downplay the matter and not overplay it.

Under the influence of both clubs and the general environment, Pogba's remarks have not been exaggerated.

However, the harmonious atmosphere deliberately created by the two sides before the game was still affected to a certain extent.

Pogba's remarks were also interpreted by some media as a tough statement by Juventus, and the Juventus people came for revenge.

Some Juventus fans applauded Pogba's tough remarks, praising the Frenchman as a true Juventusian.

To be honest, the Heysel tragedy is a thorn in the hearts of fans on both sides, especially for Juventus, as the victim side, the price of life is to be put down.

……

Anfield Stadium, 14 April 2015.

Players from both sides have entered the pitch.

However, the race did not start immediately.

All the players wrapped their arms in black veils, and the fans stood up in silence to pay tribute to the victims of the Heysel massacre.
