The Curva Sud, AC Milan's most passionate ultras, have issued a blistering statement ahead of tonight's Serie A clash with Atalanta at San Siro, taking aim at everyone from ownership to the players. The protest, which had been brewing for weeks, comes after a petition calling for CEO Giorgio Furlani's dismissal gained thousands of signatures, reflecting the growing frustration among the fanbase.
In a lengthy and scathing message, the ultras didn't hold back. They named Gerry Cardinale, Giorgio Furlani, and the entire squad as responsible for what they see as a disastrous season. "Exactly four years ago, we were celebrating one of the most wonderful Scudetto wins in Milan's history," the statement reads. "That team had courage, grit, unity, and the incredible support of the fans. Now, four years later, what is left?"
The ultras argue that the Scudetto-winning squad only needed a few quality additions to compete at the highest level, but instead, it was "completely dismantled by a totally incapable and incompetent group of directors, led by Giorgio Furlani." They accuse the CEO of standing "on the rubble of HIS sporting failure," while the ownership, led by Gerry Cardinale, prioritizes financial revenue over the club's history and the ambitions of its fans.
The protest is set to be a major storyline as Milan take on Atalanta tonight, with kickoff at 19:45 UK time. The Curva Sud's message is clear: they want change, and they want it now. For fans and followers of the Rossoneri, this is a moment that underscores the deep disconnect between the club's leadership and its most loyal supporters.
