CUP ultras filed an emergency lawsuit against police failure, but lost. Derby atmosphere killed again. 🇫🇷🚫

On May 6, 2001, Inter fans stole an Atalanta supporter's scooter outside San Siro, sneaked it past security, dragged it to the 2nd tier and threw it over the edge.
Inter got a 2-match ban, but the flying moped became Serie A folklore. 🛵

UEFA, FSE, European Football Clubs and European Leagues have backed a new principle: blanket away-fan bans should only be used as a last resort.
Punish those responsible, not the entire away end.
A potentially big change for European away culture.

Luis Figo returned to Camp Nou with Real Madrid on 23 November 2002.
Every corner brought a rain of objects from the stands.

Wolves beat West Brom 1-0 at Molineux on Sunday, but one old part of the derby was still missing: The Liquidator.
The 1969 reggae instrumental has been off Wolves’ pre-match playlist for 20+ years. West Brom brought it back. Wolves still won’t.

Avellino ultras made a 300+ km detour on their way to Ascoli just to visit Claudio Bocia Galimberti, the historic leader of Atalanta’s Curva Nord.

Lyon were playing Rennes.
Saint-Etienne weren’t even there.
Yet OL-Rennes was stopped for around 15 minutes because Lyon’s Virage Nord displayed a “Saint-Etienne, la concha de tu madre” banner.
Football rivalries don’t always need both teams to be present :)

Millwall and West Ham haven’t played each other for 14 years.

400 police officers are ready for it too :)
Sunderland waited 53 years for another European night.

Then Sunderland beat AZ 1-0.
