An inconsequential scare tarnished Inter Milan’s Scudetto celebrations on Sunday evening in Milan. A small fire broke out on the terrace overlooking the building housing an H&M store, near the Piazza del Duomo, where tens of thousands of supporters had gathered to celebrate the Nerazzurri’s title. According to initial information, a firecracker or fireworks lit during the festivities could be the cause of the fire.
Firefighters quickly intervened to bring the fire under control, avoiding any major incident despite a brief panic in the crowd. Around 50,000 people gathered in Piazza Duomo, while several hundred thousand supporters accompanied the team along the route linking the stadium to the city center. An impressive human tide to celebrate Inter’s new coronation.
