Milan Supporters’ Anger Turns to Despair Following Painful Defeat

AC Milan fans expressed their frustration towards the team and club management during and after a disappointing 2-1 loss to Bologna. The match, which was rescheduled from Serie A Week 9, saw the Rossoneri ultras initially voicing their discontent before ultimately succumbing to a sense of resigned disappointment.

The supporters have been increasingly critical of club owner Gerry Cardinale and other executives, including Geoffrey Moncada and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, throughout the season. A banner displayed at the Stadio Dall’Ara at the start of the match clearly stated their position: “Only for the shirt,” indicating their loyalty to the club’s legacy rather than its current representatives.

During the game, chants from the Curva Sud urged players to “show some courage” and expressed their frustration with phrases like “you are a poor team, we are fed up with you” and “we’ve had enough.” The fans also directed their ire at Cardinale, calling for him to sell the club.

However, as the initial anger subsided, reports suggest that the Milan ultras fell into a silent, dejected state while waiting to leave the stadium. This shift in mood appears to reflect a growing acceptance that securing a top-four finish may now be out of reach, with the team currently languishing in eighth place in the Serie A standings.

The fans’ reaction highlights the mounting pressure on AC Milan to improve their performance and address the concerns of their dedicated supporter base. As the season progresses, the club faces the challenge of not only improving results on the pitch but also rebuilding trust with its disillusioned fans.
