The relatively small number of
hardcore 'ultra' fans of Juventus who had arranged to travel to
Wednesday's Champions League match at Atletico Madrid have
decided to snub the match in protest at Monday's arrest of 12
leading Juve ultras, sources said on Tuesday.
The arrested people are accused of being part of a criminal
association that sought to blackmail the club into giving back a
range of privileges that were taken away from the ultra groups
at the end of the 2017-18 season.
These included the allocation of blocks of cut-price tickets
that could be illegally sold on.
