A Liverpool fan who travelled to Italy to watch the Champions League match against AC Milan has died following a car accident, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.
Philip Dooley, who has been described as a lifelong Liverpool supporter, was involved in a crash in Bergamo in the early hours of the morning.
“The thoughts and prayers of everyone associated with the club are with Philip's family, friends and supporters at this extremely difficult time,” Liverpool said in a statement.
Liverpool said staff members were working with local police and the consulate. The club said staff were also providing “support to other fans affected by this devastating incident.”
