AC Milan’s 125th anniversary party tonight was meant to be a celebration, but it was marred by protests from the Curva Sud and other fans.
There is a private party taking place tonight to celebrate 125 years of history, in the Tortona area of the city. The Curva have chosen to make their voices heard again, after last night when the stadium booed the team and chanted against the management and the club.
They displayed a banner outside, and MilanNews have live blogged what happened as various invitees arrived starting with chants towards Gerry Cardinale: “Cardinale you must sell!”
Then some legends arrived such as Frank Rijkaard, Marek Jankulovski, Filippo Galli, Mauro Tassotti, and Alexandre Pato. France Baresi, the honorary vice-president, was warmly applauded.
When Francesco Camarda rocked up, applause and chants immediately broke out: “We want 11 Camardas”.
Paulo Fonseca arrived with his wife and children. The Curva Sud did not react to the Rossoneri coach: neither whistles nor applause.
Sky that the Rossoneri management arrived at the event by entering through a secondary entrance, thus avoiding encountering fans outside the venue.
More players began to arrive and there was applause for Christian Pulisic, who arrived with his partner Alexa Melton and thanked the fans.
Upon the arrival of Fikayo Tomori, Tammy Abraham, Davide Calabria, Marco Sportiello and Alvaro Morata, the Curva Sud chanted: “Show some balls.”
The Curva sang a chant for “those who didn’t show up” (referring to the directors who entered through a side entrance) and added: “This management must go.”
Rafael Leao got a surprisingly negative reaction as “Show some balls” and “respect our colours” were chanted. Tijjani Reijnders, Youssouf Fofana and Mike Maignan arrived and were applauded, but Theo Hernandez got some heat too.
