Inter players hold anti-Milan banners in title celebrations – FIGC to investigate

Inter celebrated their league title yesterday with an open top bus parade around the city, and several of their players couldn’t help but engage in some anti-Milan activity.

As Calciomercato.com write, the protagonist was Denzel Dumfries who has had quite a few run-ins with Theo Hernandez in recent derbies including the one last week in which both players got sent off.

The Dutch wing-back displayed a banner on the bus which showed him holding a dog on a leash, with the face of the French full-back Theo as the dog.

Having revealed the mystery of who the opponent he and Marcus Thuram had called a ‘dog’ in recent Instagram live broadcasts (without openly saying his name), he has now launched a new provocation by displaying the banner.

Yesterday evening the Federal Prosecutor’s Office began to acquire videos of what happened and it is inevitable that they will open a case, as happened in similar circumstances in the recent past.

Hakan Calhanoglu was the target of chants and taunts from Milan players and fans when the Rossoneri celebrated their Scudetto a couple of years ago, but he limited himself to starting a ‘Chi non salta Rossonero’ chant.

Meanwhile, Inter midfielder Davide Frattesi showed a banner stating ‘Milanista Chiacchierone’ which – to put it politely – means a Milan fan that likes to talk a lot.

It certainly puts to bed any notion that Inter would celebrate their Scudetto without mentioning the other half of the city as some of their players and fans had claimed.
