They are not classic by any means. They only saw each other three times, counting tonight’s Champions League match where the Romans won 2 to 1. However, the green and white team of Scotland took advantage of the match to distance themselves from the fascism with which the team has long been linked. sky blue.
“Follow your leader” which in Spanish would be “follow your leader” was the message of the flag that the people of Celtic displayed to rub against those of Lazio in one of the most anticipated matches due to the socio-political and ideological differences of both parties.
That message was accompanied by the drawing that replicated the way in which the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini died in April 1945. And although the Second World War ended 78 years ago, on the old continent there are still resentments of what the combat was like. most atrocious war of humanity.
In turn, that flag had an extra color data. In what had been the last match between the two, Celtic beat Lazio in the last play with a goal from the Frenchman, Olivier Ntcham, who celebrated by going vertical and reminding the Lazio ultras how Benito Mussolini had died.
