Juventus supporters gathered outside the Curva Sud of the Allianz Stadium to voice their frustrations with the way the club has been run this season a couple of hours ahead of their clash with Milan in the penultimate round of Serie A fixtures.
Choruses of “we are Juventus” broke out as several hundred ultras made their way across the city to the gates of the stadium, holding banners, flags and flares. The fans also demanded “more respect” and insisted that “without ultras, there is no game.”
The supporter groups are thought to be concerned over the management of the club after a turbulent year off the pitch, with the club having had their Champions League qualification taken away from them due to a -10 point deduction as a result of their capital gains case with the FIGC Court of Appeal last week.
Now, Juventus look set to play their first season outside of Europe’s most prestigious competition for the first time since 2011-12.
