Fiorentina, Turkish fan attacks Bianco. Baron calls Ceferin

Incredible what happened in Sivas, Turkey during Sivasspor and Fiorentina for the second leg of the Round of 16 of the Conference League: shortly after Gaetano Castrovilli had signed the 4-1 for the viola team, during the exultation of the players a Turkish fan entered the pitch, he hit the young lily midfielder Alessandro Bianco in the face who had taken over for Amrabat a few minutes earlier, causing him a broken nose and other wounds to his face. Bianco himself at the final whistle, in a surreal atmosphere, immediately returned to the locker room. A few minutes later, on his social profile, the Fiorentina midfielder published a photo with a bleeding nose and a bloodstained mouth, writing: “Not bad” together with the symbol of a boxing glove.

THE CALL

—

After the attack suffered by the young Viola player, the general manager of Fiorentina Joe Barone called the president of UEFA Aleksander Ceferin to protest and ask for clarity. Later he also did the same with the ECA (European Club Association). Bianco, after the incident, reported the attacker in legal proceedings.
