Taking place at Heysel Stadium in Brussels in 1985, what should have been a celebratory European Cup Final turned into tragedy when crowd disorder led to the collapse of a wall, killing 39 people and injuring hundreds more. The disaster exposed serious issues with stadium safety, crowd control, and fan behaviour, sparking widespread outrage and leading to major changes in football regulations across Europe.
