Liverpool fan ‘critical’ after supporters clash

A Liverpool fan was in a critical condition last night after being attacked by Roma supporters before last night’s Champions League game. Two men from Rome were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after the 53-year-old supporter, who is believed to have travelled to the game from Ireland, was attacked outside a pub. Witnesses told police the victim was hit with a belt and fell to the ground suffering a head injury. Liverpool gained the upper hand in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final with a 5-2 win. Sport, pages 1-7
