Liverpool s championship parade turns into tragedy. "Red Army" has many times inseparable from pain.

Football

Premier League club Liverpool held a championship parade in Liverpool on May 26, a car suddenly rushed into the crowd, causing 47 people to be injured, including children. The event casts a shadow on the joy of the club's 20th top league championship, and adds another tragedy to the club's history.

Liverpool has had several fan accidents in the past half century, including the 2022 Europa League final in Paris, France. Before the game began, a large number of fans gathered outside the Stade de France and were fired by the police.

The then Minister of the Interior and current Attorney General Gerald Darmanin blamed the incident on the misconduct of the English fans and accused them of holding false tickets, but it caused rebuttal from the British media and clubs. Several years later, Dalmanin finally took back his remarks and admitted that he had no idea about the situation at that time, saying that in fact, many fans were robbed by illegal people and caused riots. He apologized to Liverpool fans for this, saying that they were indeed dissatisfied.

A large number of Liverpool fans who attended the game on the same day signed a lawsuit against the European Football Association (UEFA) for their claims for their injuries. The UEFA requested the lawsuit to be rejected in March, but the court refused.

Liverpool also suffered a tragedy in the 1985 European Cup final. At that time, a group of fans of the Serie A club Juventus were attacked by Liverpool fans at Heysel Stadium, Belgium before the game. When the former tried to escape, the wall of the stadium collapsed because it could not bear the pressure, killing 39 people and injuring 600 people. The incident caused the England club to ban European competitions for many years, and it was not lifted until the early 1990s.

In 1989, the English FA Cup Final Four between Liverpool and Nodinheim Forest also suffered the worst fatal tragedy in local sports history. When a large number of Liverpool fans entered the Hillsborough home court on Sheffield Wednesday, people stepped on people due to improper police crowd control, resulting in 97 fans being killed and 766 injured. In addition to enduring unimaginable pain in this tragedy, Liverpool and the entire city were also slandered by the local newspaper The Sun as the culprit of the incident, and were boycotted by Liverpool and fans of the same city club Iwalton. The British government released the truth of the tragedy in 2012, admitting that the police and the stadium staff were dereliction of duty at that time; The Sun also admitted that the report was inappropriate, giving Liverpool a belated innocence.
