Inter Milan welcomed by one fan
Legit.ng earlier reported that Inter Milan's players received the coldest reception ever on their return to Italy following their humiliating 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025 UEFA Champions League final.
The team landed at Milan’s Malpensa Airport on Sunday expecting some support, but were met by just one solitary fan, Marco, who stood alone in the arrivals area.
His lonely presence has become symbolic of the emotional disconnect between the club and its fanbase after a devastating end to a once-promising season.
