Liverpool have lost one of their fans after he collapsed
following the team’s 4 nil defeat of Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League
semi-finals second-leg match at Anfield on Tuesday.
Hebert Danso Atiko, a Ghanaian, was found lying on the floor
unconscious following a jubilation session for the fourth goal at a pub in
Eastern Ghana.
An eyewitness said Atiko was rushed to the Akwatia St.
Dominics Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead after other soccer fans at
the pub tried but failed to revive him.
Hebert was a final year Engineering student at Akwatia
Technical School and was writing his final exams.
He was staying in a rented apartment outside the school
campus.
The Principal of Akwatia Technical School, Maxwel
Owusu-Afriyie told Accra based radio station Starr FM the incident is being
investigated.
Afriyie said: “We will get the details and see if there was
something the students did that suggest that his behavior was in excess.
“On that we can really talk to the students. We have a
system in place where we talk to the students and their behavior these days”.
Hebert is believed to be a teenager. Liverpool’s win over
Barcelona on Tuesday has been ranked among one of the greatest comebacks in
world football.
They beat the Spanish champions despite losing the first leg
3-0.
The victory has shocked many soccer fans, as Liverpool will
now be playing in the Champions League final in Madrid for the second year in a
row. (NAN)
