Italy international Sandro Tonali celebrated Newcastle’s win over Arsenal on Instagram, but several Milan fans replied, telling him to ‘come back home.’
Tonali was introduced from the bench in Newcastle’s 1-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday and celebrated his club’s victory on social media.
Milan fans tell Tonali to ‘come back home’ after Newcastle win over Arsenal
The Italian star posted a team picture from the Magpies locker room, receiving thousands of likes and comments.
Many came from Milan fans who apparently still miss the 24-year-old from Lodi.
Several of them wrote the same thing in Italian: ‘Torna a casa’, which means ‘Come back home.’
There were so many comments from Milan fans that Geordie Josh, a Newcastle supporter and video creator, sarcastically asked: “Will these AC Milan fans just leave you alone?”
Tonali returned to action for the Newcastle and Italy national teams in August after a 10-month ban for illegal betting ended.
The former Milan midfielder has one assist in 10 appearances at a club level this season.
Another Italy international, Riccardo Calafiori, followed Newcastle-Arsenal from home on Saturday while recovering from a knee injury.
