On 29 May 1985, before the European cup final between Juventus and Liverpool's, a large group of Reds' supporters breached a fence separating them from Juventus fans. 39 people died and 600 were injured, yet the game was played despite the disaster in order to prevent further violence, with Juventus winning 1-0. Former RAI commentator Bruno Pizzul called the game and recalled that night for us.
