When the match ends, boos rain down from the away section: the Rossoneri players were heading towards their supporters, but the captain invited his teammates to go to the changing rooms
A very bad performance on the pitch, “the worst of the season” according to Allegri. A ranking that risks taking a turn for the worse if Roma beat Fiorentina tomorrow evening and go -3. And the boos from the fans at the end of the match. With the team not going under the sector occupied by the many Rossoneri fans, commendable in encouraging Maignan and his teammates despite the knockout. In Milan’s forgettable afternoon in Reggio Emilia there was also the (avoidable) episode after Maresca’s final whistle. More tension after the fourth defeat in the last seven newspapers.

Leao had already received his share of boos at the time of the substitution. In recent weeks Rafa has become accustomed to this “fracture” in his relationship with the Rossoneri people. However, after the end of the match the whole team was booed by the many Devil’s supporters present at the Mapei Stadium. At that moment the players were halfway across the pitch and were about to move towards the fans’ corner. The intensity of the whistles increased and at that point Maignan, as captain, indicated to his teammates to stop and return to the locker room. Perhaps because he understood that an even worse climate could be created by going close to the Rossoneri section of the stadium. People didn’t like it.

After the match, Gabbia explained what happened by trying to put out the fire: “We went to greet the fans who supported us throughout the match. It’s normal that they were angry: we deserved the boos they directed at us and it’s right that they expressed their disappointment. We too are disappointed for what we showed on the pitch, but there’s little to say. I don’t see anything strange in what happened. Maignan? We went to greet our people, they booed us, rightly so, and we are gone.” The fact remains that people didn’t like it, but when the team reached Reggio Emilia station by bus to return by train to Milan there were no further tensions.
