Before the Milan Champions League game, a fan and a police officer got into a stabbing altercation.
Following fights between Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan supporters, a French football fan suffered serious injuries, while an Italian police officer is also hospitalized.
Italian media reports that on the eve of Tuesday’s Champions League encounter between the two teams, a group of about fifty AC Milan supporters attacked PSG supporters in the bustling Navigli neighborhood of the city while donning masks, helmets, and flares.
A PSG fan was rushed to hospital after being stabbed twice in the leg.
In September, a Newcastle United fan was stabbed in the same area of the city before Milan’s other home match in the Champions League, against the Premier League team.
AC Milan, who reached the semi-finals last season, are bottom of Group F and without a win or a goal in this season’s competition.
