Milan ultras have announced they will not be travelling for the Champions League game against Liverpool at Anfield, blaming UEFA for ‘confused’ messages.
The Rossoneri have their first fixture in the tournament at the legendary Anfield on Wednesday September 15.
UEFA announced that travelling fans will be able to enter the stadium for away games this season, but must stick to the COVID regulations of the host countries.
“It is with a heavy heart that we are forced to forego the trip to Liverpool next week,” wrote the Curva Sud Milano group in an Instagram post.
“The information is still confused and uncertain, there aren’t many flights and the rigid English rules around COVID give us no other choice.
“UEFA have once again showed that ‘football is for the fans’ remains an empty slogan. The truth is that once more the fans are pushed aside, the authorisation from the European football chiefs to attend away games was given less than a week before the first fixtures and even then dependent on the decisions of individual governments.”
