In Florence, the draw between Fiorentina and Juventus (1-1) was tarnished by two bursts of racist chants targeting Turin striker Dusan Vlahovic. From the 8th minute, the referee had to interrupt the match after shouts such as “You’re a gypsy!” » launched by some of the local ultras. A first message broadcast in the stadium briefly calmed the situation, but the insults resumed in the 15th minute, forcing the referee to bring the two teams together and repeat the warning to the public.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sportthe speaker then recalled that“this is the second stage of the protocol: in the event of a third incident, the match will be suspended”. No further slip-ups were subsequently reported and the meeting came to an end. However, this is not the first time that Vlahovic, a former Fiorentina player between 2018 and 2022, has been the target of such behavior during his returns to the Artemio-Franchi stadium.
