#ultras

In many ways, ultra-dom provides precisely what contemporary society lacks: collectivism in a period of atomisation; danger and adrenaline in a society that seems strangely bloodless; old-fashioned masculinity and muscle in a period of soft skills, and belonging in an era of rootlessness.

The Association of German Sports Journalists (VDS) sent an urgent letter to FC Bayern and UEFA, demanding a full investigation and improved safety measures for staff at the stadium after two photographers were crushed against the advertising boards.

Harrison describes the energy of the Fiorentina fans, saying, 'Some of the Ultras recognise me straight away, and they're like, die', die' (come on, come on)! Let's go, andiamo'. It's a nice energy!'

Sources added that Moffi has been put on sick leave for a week and Boga for five days. The pair were both punched, spat at, kicked and insulted by the Ultras, according to people who were at the scene on the Boulevard Jean-Luciano where the team bus had brought players and staff back from the airport after returning from Lorient.

The Milan derby will be a bit less colourful in the stands on Sunday night, as neither Curva are expected to unveil a tifo. As La Repubblica report, the Curva Nord and Curva Sud will be present for the game, but there will not be the usual displays. Neither group will perform any kind of choreography or reveal a tifo like usual, but there will still be chants and songs.
