1985 champion's leage final between liverpool and Juventus, 39 fans died and 600 injured. This was called the Heysel Stadium disaster.
Basically heysel stadium in belgium was an old crappy stadium and liverpool-juve fans got into a brawl hours before the match. Since belgium had a huge italian community, some juve fans were near the livepool section...once fights started, liverpool fans charged towards the smaller juve crowd so they retreated towards a wall and soon the wall collaped...people got crushed and many got injured and died. Mostly juve fans.
After that liverpool fans were charged with the blame, english teams were banned for few years. The game still went on however, which juve ended up winning. But it will forever be remembered as a tragic day even though it was juve's first CL title. R.I.P.
