Once 39 dead and 300-400 injured, it was not enough to postpone a football match. OK, it was a Champions League final, after all, a European Champions League Cup, as they called it then. But, devil, 39 souls were these. Among them children aged 11, 17, 20. And they went to Belgium to watch a final of the top inter-club football tournament. Well, they never came back. And the same night a ball was played. A final that was judged by a Musanten penalty. And from another that was blatant. But the referee never whistled it.
Hazel, 1985. It's been 35 years since an untold tragedy. From the night that the sacrifice of 39 people was the occasion to change the History of English football. Because since then, football on the Island has never been the same again. No, the moral and physical perpetrators were not found. Not for justice at least. They arrested 30-35 Liverpool fans as the initiators of the episodes. They were identified in the video as they took a shower on the side of Gate Z, where Juventus and neutral Belgians were sitting. But were these drunken Englishmen the only ones to blame?
Belgian police were absent. In the number that should be at least. 60.000 thousand people, excitement, beer from the morning, and lack of fear that intoxication implies. How to keep them 100-200 class guards? These things do not happen.
The safety rules at the Stadium were absent. A cliff ready to fall was Hazel at the time. The Englishmen who did not have tickets kicked the concrete blocks, he says, and the wall was punctured. And they climbed to the X door that he filled. And when the heat, the beer, the alcohol, the paranoia of the cup did their job, there were so many in X now that Gate Z was not only the "nest of hated Italians" but also a mini paradise to breathe.
When the Italians and Belgians, chased by the mob, retreated to the wall separating Z from the main gates, the rotten crowd wall collapsed. Thus 39 souls were lost. Where did they go; On the field for a final. and they never returned home. And the same night, Platini was celebrating a trophy from a Moussanten penalty. That many said was given to the vekia signiora. As a "reward" for lost souls. How cheaply did they cost…
