Roma have issued a statement condemning the ‘abhorrent’ and ‘vile’ behaviour by a group of their fans before Tuesday's Champions League semi-final which left a Liverpool fan in critical condition.
Merseyside Police have arrested two men from Rome, aged 25 and 26, on suspicion of attempted murder after a 53-year-old Liverpool supporter was attacked outside Anfield shortly before kick-off.
The man, believed to be from Ireland, was at the game with his brother and is now fighting for his life at Walton Neurological Centre, police have said.
In a statement issued on the Italian club's website and social media channels, Roma said: "AS Roma condemns in the strongest possible terms the abhorrent behaviour of a small minority of travelling 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.
