A lenient punishment for Juventus fans after offensive behavior during the minute's silence for Mazzoli

Mazzola played for the Italian national team and Inter Milan.

A mild punishment for the "Old Lady" fans

Juventus was threatened with more severe sanctions, including closing the stands for the next match, but the disciplinary judge of the Italian league decided to treat the fans' behavior more leniently. The competition's disciplinary body took into account the club's "quick and official response to this reprehensible behavior" as well as the fact that "the other spectators present at the stadium distanced themselves from this incident."

Tribute to Mazzoli, who died on September 19 at the age of 83 - considered one of the greatest Italian footballers in history and one of the best players of his generation in the world - was paid during all Serie A matches played last weekend.

Scandalous behavior of Juventus Turin fans

Let us recall: in Turin, during a minute of silence, a group of Juventus fans turned their backs to the pitch and started chanting slogans praising the legends of their own club. Inter and Juventus are eternal rivals. However, the chanting was drowned out by the applause of the remaining spectators in the stadium - both home and away fans. Shortly after the match, Juventus released a statement condemning the behavior of their fans.

Mazzola played for Inter Milan throughout his career, becoming one of the icons of the Milan club. He played for the Italian national team in 1963-1974.
