A crazy gesture that could have had dramatic consequences. The protagonist, in spite of himself, was Audero who, during the second half of the Cremonese-Inter match, was seen to have a firecracker launched by a Nerazzurri fan explode near him. Audero, who played for Inter in the 2023-24 season and is now owned by Como, showed great professionalism. Despite a leg injury and hearing problems’Audero did not ask for a change and continued to play. A huge gesture of sportsmanship appreciated by all, first and foremost by opponents who condemned the crazy gesture.

As reported by Corriere della Sera, the person responsible for this very ugly incident has reportedly already been identified. During the deed, the fan who threw the firecracker on the field would have been injured. To be precise, he would have lost three fingers, so much so that he was promptly admitted to the hospital for necessary treatment. As soon as the incident happened, it seems a kind of “investigation” within the Nerazzurri curve was promptly triggered to identify the culprit who would be a kind of maverick.

If confirmation comes that he was indeed the one who threw the firecracker, the perpetrator will be arrested. The consequences of his insane act will also affect the Nerazzurri fans. The Nerazzurri club will be forced, due to the principle of strict liability, to pay a significantly large fine. Not only that. There will, almost certainly, also be a very harsh sanction against the Nerazzurri organized supporters. In addition to the probable blocking of one or more away matches, the Curva Nord of San Siro could also be closed for one or more home matches.

It is worth noting that after the match, Inter players did not go under their fans for the classic end-of-match salute. Lautaro Martinez came out harshly against the gesture, which tainted a clear and important victory for the standings.

Now we will have to wait for the sports judge to find out more about the penalties facing Inter and, of course, the Nerazzurri fans. Because of a single fan, many will be in trouble, with the club also forced to pay a fine that will not be small.
