LFC to commemorate 33rd anniversary of Hillsborough

Liverpool Football Club will pay tribute to the 97 supporters who lost their lives in the Hillsborough tragedy, during this week's Champions League fixture against Benfica at Anfield.

A minute’s silence will be observed prior to kick-off to remember the 97 fans who lost their lives as a result of the events that occurred at the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.

A mosaic will also be displayed on the Kop, during the minute of silence, which will feature the Eternal Flames with the number 97.

The team will wear black armbands as a mark of respect and tributes will be displayed on LED boards surrounding the pitch and within a commemorative edition of the matchday programme.
