EMOTIONAL REUNION IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

The draw for the UEFA Champions League Quarter Final has set up an emotional reunion in the competition against Juventus, 20 years on from the Heysel disaster.

Liverpool will play the Italian giants over two legs, firstly at Anfield on the 5th or 6th of April with the return leg in Turin on the 12th or 13th April.

The winners of the tie will be handed a fixture against either Chelsea or Bayern Munich in the Semi-Finals.

It is the first meeting of the two clubs since the European Cup Final in 1985 at the Heysel stadium. Both clubs have developed strong links in the intervening 20 years and aim to mark the occasion with a gesture of respect.
