After Fiorentina's Primavera semifinal victory against AS Roma, Fiorentina's player Nicolò Zaniolo was accused of aggressively entering Roma's locker room while intoxicated, resulting in injuries to two youth players. Roma's investigation revealed Zaniolo physically assaulted Mattia Almaviva and Marco Litti, leading to both requiring hospitalization. This incident has sparked outrage from AS Roma, who demand accountability for such behavior, stressing its incompatibility with the values of Italian football. The Italian soccer federation has initiated an investigation into the matter as allegations unfold.
On the evening of May 26, following the Primavera semi-final match Fiorentina vs AS Roma at Viola Park, Nicolò Zaniolo unlawfully entered the Roma dressing room area accompanied by an associate, despite lacking accreditation.
Witnesses report Zaniolo appeared visibly intoxicated. He urinated in Roma facilities, provoked players, and, without verbal exchange, physically struck Mattia Almaviva and violently pushed Marco Litti against a bench.
