Liverpool vs Roma: SHOCKING Anfield picture forces legends to apologise for offending club
Anfield plays host to Liverpool vs Roma in the semi-final of the Champions League
Liverpool host Roma in the first-leg of their semi-final Champions League clash this evening and the pair are in attendance.
But while Roma’s current crop of players were praised for paying their respects to the 96 by laying a wreath, the actions of the club’s former heroes have not had the same effect.
A picture uploaded to Pruzzo’s daughter’s Facebook page - that has since been deleted - shows the pair giving a middle finger salute to the Liverpool club badge
Both men played in the 1984 Champions League final in Rome, which Liverpool famously won on penalties.
But Pruzzo and Conte have now come clean about the picture and apologised for any offence caused.
Pruzzo, who is now manager of Como, said: "That photo was taken in private as a joke, if someone has been offended we apologise.
