Roma have condemned the ‘abhorrent behaviour of a small minority’, who ‘brought shame’ before their Champions League semi-final at Liverpool.
Two Roma fans were arrested on suspicion of attempting to murder the 53-year-old, with the incident occurring just before the match kicked off, while the Giallorossi’s apology comes after UEFA branded the attack ‘deeply shocking’ and ‘vile’.
“AS Roma condemns in the strongest possible terms the abhorrent behaviour of a small minority of traveling fans who brought shame on the club and the vast majority of Roma’s well-behaved supporters at Anfield after getting involved in clashes with Liverpool supporters before last night’s fixture.
“There is no place for this type of vile behaviour in football and the club is now cooperating with Liverpool Football Club, UEFA and the authorities.
“The club’s thoughts and prayers are with the 53-year-old Liverpool fan in hospital and his family at this time.”
