Juventus released an official statement condemning the behaviour of supporters who turned their backs during a minute's silence for Sandro Mazzola before Saturday's match against Atalanta. The club stressed that no rivalry can justify disrespect during commemorative moments.
Tuttosport editor Guido Vaciago and manager Luciano Spalletti both criticised the incident. Vaciago said the gesture was shameful and called for the same respect demanded for other tragedies to be extended to all. Spalletti, who recalled Mazzola's kindness when he arrived at Inter, said such conduct towards football legends should not occur.
