# Roma issue statement condemning their fans after attack on Liverpool supporters

AS Roma have issued a statement condemning a section of their fans after they attacked Liverpool supporters before last night’s Champions League semi-final first leg at Anfield.

One Liverpool fan, 53-year-old Sean Cox from Dunboyne in Ireland, is currently at Walton Neurological Centre, where he is being treated after suffering a head injury. His condition has been described as critical.

Roma issued the following statement on their [website](https://www.asroma.com/en/news/2018/4/as-roma-official-statement-):

> AS Roma condemns in the strongest possible terms the abhorrent behavior of a small minority of traveling 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.

> There is no place for this type of vile behavior in football and the club is now cooperating with Liverpool Football Club, UEFA and the authorities.

> The club’s thoughts and prayers are with the 53-year-old Liverpool fan in hospital and his family at this time.
