- Both clubs will observe a moment of silence in the 39th minute of home matches to mark the lives lost in the 1985 tragedy.
- The Heysel disaster stemmed from Liverpool hooligans breaching fencing in a neutral block, causing a wall collapse that crushed 39 Juventus supporters and injured hundreds more.
- In its aftermath, UEFA imposed a five-year European ban on English clubs (seven years for Liverpool) and prompted stadium safety overhauls, including the Arena’s 1995 reopening as King Baudouin Stadium.
