During this fatal day, 96 people lost their lives and 766 others were injured due to the overcrowding in central pens of stand which were allocated for the Liverpool fans.

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has praised Roma captain De Rossi ahead of the Champions League tie and said: “Fantastic player and a fantastic leader for many years for Roma,

“He’s a huge player and someone who has been around for a long time. He will be used to it, this sort of size of a game. He will be looking forward to it.

“But I feel we’ve got experience in our side, too, maybe not as much as him, but I feel we are ready to go and challenge.”

Liverpool will take on AS Roma at Anfield on Tuesday while Bayern Munich and Real Madrid go head to head against each other in the second semi-final on Wednesday.
