No fans at soccer games?
September 3rd, 2005
Here’s an interesting story.
Because of a previous incident where an AC goalkeeper was hit by a flare by Inter fans, the Union of European Football Associations bared fans from attending the teams first four Champions League matches.
It would certainly be odd to play in such an environment!
“You can’t play soccer like this. It’s unbelievable,” Inter coach Roberto Mancini said after the match. “The team was very tense having to play without fans. It’s really absurd.”
