Sky: Milan directors avoid fans through side entrance while players face chants | OneFootball

Last night a private party was held for AC Milan players and staff to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the club’s founding, but it was marred by protest.

The Curva Sud gathered outside the entrance to the venue of the event and waited for arrivals, chanting against the owner Gerry Cardinale and the current management, labelling them incompetent.

According to Manuele Baiocchini of Sky (via MilanNews), the directors avoided confrontation with the Rossoneri fans because they were ‘advised not to go through the main entrance’ as others did.

Instead, they went through a side door and that means they were not seen by the Curva. The reasons, despite the protest having been announced as peaceful and taking place without problems, were public order related.

The problem with this is that while figures like Giorgio Furlani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic went in unopposed, certain players were left to face the wrath of the Curva outside the main entrance.

The likes of Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez, Alvaro Morata, Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori and others had chants aimed at them. It left the whole evening feeling rather uncomfortable, and fans on social media have been debating whether a line was crossed by the supporters.
