After a car crashed into supporters at the end of a parade to celebrate the club’s Premier League title triumph, Jurgen Klopp, the beloved former manager of Liverpool, said there are more “serious things in the world than football.”

After 65 people were seriously injured in the shocking scenes of Monday, a 53-year-old man from the Liverpool area has been detained by police on suspicion of attempted murder and drug use.

Klopp, who left the English giants a year ago, was present for the parade.

As Klopp’s side won the 2019/20 league while there were restrictions on public gatherings as a result of Covid-19, the club and supporters had the first opportunity to celebrate a title triumph together for 35 years.

The League Managers’ Association awarded Klopp with an award after the presentation of an incredible mood and “from one second to the other, everything changed.”

“Thoughts and prayers go unquestionably to the injured people, as far as I am aware right now, and also to the families, of course, as well.

Because we didn’t get the chance to do that the last time, it should have been one of the best days in the city’s history.

Out of respect for the victims, Liverpool boss Arne Slot withdrew from the same occasion, where he was scheduled to receive a manager of the year award.

Even Liverpool’s most fervent rivals Manchester United, Everton, and Manchester City were among the clubs who showed their support for the Premier League champions and their supporters in the shock that followed.

Football is and always should be a game of rivalry, but it also provides a great sense of camaraderie, especially during times like this, Slot said in a statement.

I want to pay tribute to Liverpool’s emergency services and other authorities, who immediately took action.

I believe that everyone involved in the aftermath deserves our full appreciation, along with the supporters and bystanders who offered one another in times of need.

11 of the injured were still receiving treatment at a hospital on Tuesday, according to a press release from the police.

Due to a scandal that has cast doubt on the success of the well-known case, a key judge in the trial of late Argentine football star Diego Maradona’s medical team resigned on Tuesday.

Julieta Makintach, known as the “judge of god,” dissented after it became clear she had been filming a racy miniseries about the ongoing trial, potentially violating a number of ethics standards.

At the age of 60, Maradona underwent brain surgery and passed away in November 2020.

His seven-person medical team is accused of gross negligence in his home convalescence.

After a string of police raids and a one-week suspension of the case, Makintach, 47, was charged with violating her impartiality, selling influence, and even bribery for her role in the documentary miniseries “Divine Justice.”

In a courtroom video that featured Makintach strutting high heels through the streets of justice while grim details about the footballing legend’s demise were revealed, the film was shown.

The miniseries would follow Makintach as she “reconstructs the death of Maradona and some painful milestones of his life related to abandonment,” according to the script.

In a violation of court regulations, the footage appeared to contain allegedly unauthorised recordings made inside the courtroom.

The hearing on Tuesday featured insults, repudiations, shouting, and tears.

Prosecutors’ attorney Patricio Ferrari blasted Makintach for acting “like an actress and not a judge” in a heated exchange.

Rodolfo Baque, the defense attorney, jumped out of his chair as the trailer was playing. at the judge’s discretion.

Gianinna Maradona’s daughter tried to calm him, but Veronica Ojeda and her ex-partner, Veronica Maradona, both started sobbing uncontrollably.

Makintach eventually said she had “no choice” but to recuse herself as one of the three justices in the case, sat with her head bowed, bit her lip, and sat with her lip.

“Dark, ugly, and lonely”

Her removal could potentially derail a trial being watched by football diehards all over the world and cause embarrassment to Argentina’s judiciary system.

Maradona, who is regarded as one of the greatest players in history, passed away from heart failure and acute pulmonary embolism.

If found guilty of homicide with probable intent, those responsible for his medical care could spend eight to twenty years in prison.

The charges relate to the circumstances surrounding his care and how they decided to allow him to recover from extensive surgery at home.

Gianinna Maradona claims that her father was kept “in a dark, ugly, and lonely place” by his caregivers, who were more concerned with his well-being than his welfare.

On Thursday, the court will decide whether the trial will continue or be halted before being resumed.

Some plaintiffs have argued that the trial has been tarnished by scandal.

“Everyone now feels that this is compromised,” said Mario Baudry, Maradona’s ex-partner Ojeda’s attorney.

Starting fresh from scratch is the healthiest idea, he continued.
