Liverpool's players expressed solidarity with supporter Sean Cox in the immediate aftermath of qualifying for the Champions League final on May 26.
Mr Cox, a Liverpool fan from Dunboyne, County Meath in Ireland, sustained serious head injuries and remains in a critical condition after being attacked by a group of Roma fans outside Anfield before last week's Champions League semi-final first leg.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson wrote a letter this week to Mr Cox's GAA club, St Peter's, in Dunboyne to express solidarity with the 53-year-old's friends and family members and also sent a jersey signed by the Liverpool squad.
Following Wednesday's match in the Stadio Olimpico, Liverpool's players showed Mr Cox remains on their minds as they posed with a banner from the crowd which read "Sean Cox - You'll Never Walk Alone".
Earlier on Wednesday, fans from both Liverpool and Roma met at Rome's City Hall to condemn violence and show their support for Mr Cox.
Liverpool will face Real Madrid in the Champions League final at the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kiev on May 26 after their 7-6 aggregate victory over Roma.
