The Boston Derby - in Europe

As most fans know, Liverpool FC plays AS Roma tomorrow in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool. What many may not realize is that both teams are owned by Boston businessmen, Liverpool by John Henry and a group of business executives and Roma by James Pallotta and a different team of executives.  Pallotta is a part owner of the Celtics and Henry the principal owner of the Red Sox.

The pre-game story is in today's Boston Globe.

“This is a great story line — the two Boston ownerships facing each other,” the Globe quotes Rich D’Amore, a local owner of AS Roma, as saying. “I’ll take this.”
