The mayor of Milan agrees with Inter’s stadium ban, but “I don’t think we need to suspend the league”.
The Nerazzurri have been given a two-match stadium ban, with a further one for the Curva Nord, after Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly was subjected to racist absuse.
“We’ve heard from the prefecture several times, and we’ll call a meeting with Inter and Milan to avoid repeating these problems,” Giuseppe Sala told reporters this evening.

“I’d tend to agree [with the stadium closure], I understand they need to send a signal, but I don’t know how to measure these things. I think a signal is the right thing though.
“Should the league be suspended? I don’t think so, because objectively, in the face of such attitudes, there are also a lot of people going to the stadium with a positive attitude.
“So I don’t think we need to suspend the league. It’s not just a problem in Milan, everyone should take their own responsibility and mine is to talk to the prefecture and with the clubs.
“This is something that goes against the spirit of our open city. I felt uncomfortable during the game and I wanted to leave, but I wanted to reflect on things and then in the morning I said my piece.”
