The Napoli owner has called on the Italian Prime Minister to show “the courage” of Margaret Thatcher to stamp out hooliganism after claiming there was “guerrilla warfare” last night in the southern Italian city.
And the mayor of Naples admitted: “For a few hours the city was held hostage by German and Neapolitan thugs.”
Eintracht Frankfurt fans were banned for the second leg at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, but hundreds still travelled to Naples to join up with Atalanta Ultras. And they clashed with Napoli supporters in running battles in Naples, just eight days before England play a Euro 2024 qualifier in the city. Eight people have so far been arrested – five Italian and three German.
