On the occasion of AC Milan's private event to celebrate the club's 125th anniversary, held in the Tortona district of Milan, the organised Rossoneri fans and AIMC continued their protest that began last night during and after the 0-0 draw between Milan and Genoa. During the match, the stadium booed the team and chanted against the management and the club.
The protest, as reiterated multiple times, will remain entirely peaceful. The Curva recognizes that not everyone deserves boos and criticism, so their behavior will vary depending on who shows up. The key message to convey is their clear disapproval of a season that is currently far below expectations. Follow the protest's progress through our live text updates and video contributions from our reporters.
Key moments in tonight's event:
Waiting for players, coach, and executives: The Curva Sud Milano displayed two banners. The first, already shown outside San Siro last night, reads: "Incompetent directors, a club with no ambition. You are unworthy of our history.” The second states: "Players without desire or dignity, you are a reflection of this ownership.”
Curva Sud applauds Pietro Paolo Virdis: Yesterday, among the legends celebrated at San Siro. However, the former striker was dissatisfied with the organization of the on-field ceremony and expressed his concerns on social media: "A question we ALL asked ourselves... You, the club, organize a celebration for this important date... bring CHAMPIONS from the Netherlands, Brazil, Monza, Milan... have them parade on the field holding trophies from OUR history, which remain in FOOTBALL HISTORY, and you don’t say their names???? You don’t list them with the usual enthusiasm that accompanies the announcement of every lineup before a match?? Why? ... Asking for some friends."
