29 May 2023
Two teams set to play a European Cup Final, a match that had captured the attention of all of Europe.
A stadium in Belgium, a night that was supposed to be a party. There were thousands of people that night at Heysel, thousands of eyes that couldn't wait for the emotion of a great match.
There were 39 of them that never saw that match.
Since that day in 1985, the word "Heysel" has been synonymous with dismay, irrationality, heinous events spiralling out of control.
May 29 is a date when that wound hurts again, and we know that pain will never stop.
We gather together in remembrance with the families and all the loved ones of those 39 innocent people.
They were there, and they will never stop being with us.
