MP Borrelli reports racist gesture at Napoli fans in Milan
Francesco Emilio Borrelli shared video of an Inter fan making a monkey gesture towards Napoli supporters after Saturday's 3-2 defeat at San Siro.
Francesco Emilio Borrelli, an MP for Alleanza Verdi-Sinistra, has publicly reported an act of discrimination at San Siro at the final whistle of Inter-Napoli. The video, filmed by a father at the stadium with his young son and then sent to the MP, shows an Inter fan making a monkey gesture towards the Napoli supporters.
Borrelli called it a shameful episode that does no justice to a match that had been an enjoyable spectacle: Saturday's game finished 3-2 to Inter, with Napoli going 2-0 up early in the second half before being overturned late on. The gesture, according to the report, came right at the final whistle.
