Soccer-Liverpool fan attacked in Turin before Juventus match

ROME, April 13 - A Liverpool fan suffered minor
head injuries in an attack by Juventus supporters in Turin
overnight, ANSA news agency reported on Wednesday.

Six Juventus fans were questioned by police after the clash
in a bar around midnight. Liverpool play Juventus in a Champions
League quarter-final second leg at Turin's Delle Alpi stadium
later on Wednesday.

Police intervened quickly to prevent the situation getting
out of hand ahead of the first match between the two clubs since
the 1985 Heysel Stadium tragedy in which 39 mainly Italian
supporters died after a charge by Liverpool fans.

ANSA said police confiscated clubs and batons from the six
Juventus fans who entered a bar where a group of Liverpool
supporters were drinking. Liverpool won the first leg 2-1.
