Juventus management stunned by offensive graffiti from Fiorentina fans

Juventus management are stunned by offensive graffiti from Fiorentina fans which appeared at their stadium yesterday.

There was graffiti on the walls referencing Heysel and the death of Juventus legend Gaetano Scirea ahead of Juve's win.

Before the warm-up Giorgio Chiellini, the Italy international and ex-Fiorentina player Juan Cuadrado laid flowers for Davide Astori at the side of the pitch.

“On such a day that we go to lay flowers in homage to the Fiorentina captain, seeing the memory of our fans and our historic captain defiled in such a way is sad. It is distressing, a bad example and shameful.

“This sort of attitude sadly is not a problem to be resolved for Fiorentina, but in all stadiums."
