Milan Fans Will Have to Settle for Reading About Their Opening Match
As was speculated last week, Milan fans have been banned from their team's opening match at Genoa this weekend. There is a history of violence between the teams' supporters, and a Genoa fan was stabbed to deal during their last meeting, back in 1995.
Because Genoa were relegated at the end of that season and haven't been back in Serie A since, tensions between supporters have only increased, and graffiti urging revenge has recently appeared around the Genoa ground.
