Bertrand Latour, the serious accusations

Just two months after the great victory won at the Stade de France, Italy had another meeting with the Blues on Sunday, on the last day of the group stage of the Nations League. And if they were already assured of their qualification for the quarter-finals, the two nations were playing big since first place – and therefore an easier quarter-final – was at stake.

The transalpine public came in large numbers to San Siro to watch the match but was quickly cooled as the Blues overwhelmed the Italians after just two minutes thanks to a victorious header from Adrien Rabiot from a corner. And if after the magnificent free kick scored by Lucas Digne, Andrea Cambiaso reduced the score, giving hope to the spectators, Adrien Rabiot ruined the last hopes of the Italians with a new header from a corner.

Whistles that don't go through

But the spectators present at San Siro had made their presence felt even before the match kicked off. At the time of the Marseillaise, numerous whistles came down from the stands, causing a certain annoyance among the players of the Squadra Azzura, who took the opposite view by applauding during the French anthem. Behavior of Italian supporters castigated by Bertrand Latour, present at San Siro.

“The Italian public forgot respect when crossing San Siro. Congratulations to the players, who applauded throughout the Marseillaise as a sign of disapproval”he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
