Claudio Marchisio condemns the attack on referee Anthony Taylor and his family at Budapest airport after the Europa League final between Roma and Sevilla. The former Juventus midfielder posted the video of the attack on Instagram and wrote a long post. «25,000 fans have colored Budapest with the colors of Roma. From the first to the last second, they supported their team with love and passion, and represented the most beautiful thing our football has to offer to Europe, paying tribute to Roma who have made a magnificent journey in the Europa League.” Marchisio’s premise.
The former footballer then adds: «A few hours after the final, however, a dozen of them at the airport became the protagonists of a disgusting scene, a real attack on a family, that of Anthony Taylor, who at that moment was not a referee but only a father and a husband careful to protect his wife and daughter, incredulous and frightened by the insipid violence of these poor losers. This stuff isn’t football, it’s not cheering, it doesn’t honor anyone but it’s just crime we’re all tired of. Enough!”. There are many comments on the post. Many share Marchisio’s reflections, but angry responses from Roma fans abound, even insulting the former Juventus player.
