Football hooligans were clearly in the avant-garde of rioters during the September 18 MTV siege and the following street fights: police have since identified hardcore fans of Újpest and FTC among the demonstrators. Riots in Hungary has gathered further evidence to prove the football connection – with an international twist.
This video was shot during an Internazionale game at Milan’s Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (better known as San Siro, the home of city clubs FC Internazionale and AC Milan) following the riots in Budapest. Watch the big white banner.
Further down south in Italy, fans of A.S. Roma hold a similar banner on October 25, just two days after the Budapest fights, during a Roma-Ascoli game. Photo via Core de Roma, a site dedicated to everything A. S. Roma.
