Lazio fans protest against UEFA sanctions with a silent demonstration

During the Europa League’s Lazio-Porto, sectors 48 and 49, the central parts of the Curva Nord near the Olimpico, remained empty. UEFA had ordered the closure due to racist chants, fascist gun salutes and fireworks during Lazio-Nice on the second day of the European competition. The organized fan groups thus filled the northeastern stands and others, staging a silent protest: thousands of white cards with black texts mocking the measure. ‘Moderate celebration’, ‘Hands in pockets’, ‘Authorized card’ are some of them. Lazio-Porto at 9 p.m. the big match at the Olimpico: Zaccagni returns as starter, Mandas in goal. The statement In the days before the match with Porto, the Ultras Lazio and the Tribuna Tevere had issued a statement through the official Instagram profile ‘La Voce della Nord’ in which they spoke of “unjust condemnation, the result of an accessory that we have never denied.’ Then the decision to attend the match anyway by filling ‘every other sector of the Stadio Olimpico’.
