A 51-year-old Liverpool fan from Ireland lost his life on Monday night while attempting to cross the A4 highway near Orio al Serio Airport in Bergamo, Italy. The tragic incident occurred just hours after the fan had arrived from Manchester, as reported by multiple Italian media outlets.
The unnamed fan was struck by a vehicle while trying to navigate the busy highway. Authorities later found his body close to the airport, but his two companions, who had traveled with him, were not present at the scene.
According to Italian newspaper *Il Corriere della Sera*, the deceased was a dedicated Liverpool supporter who had secured a ticket to the much-anticipated Champions League match between AC Milan and Liverpool at the San Siro stadium. The incident occurred as the fan was reportedly making his way to the NH Hotel, where he planned to stay the night before attending the big game.
Local authorities are continuing to investigate the accident. This tragic death has cast a somber tone over what was expected to be a thrilling European adventure for the fan and his fellow supporters.
