Juve And Milan Fans Allied Against Inter
During last night's Trofeo Tim tournament it emerged that the fans of Juventus and Milan share a common aversion for Inter.

In fact, it was almost automatic for the Juventus fans to find the perfect allies in booing off the Italian champions, in the form of their Rossoneri counterparts.
It's also worth noting that the Inter fan section was the least populated. This was because the Nerazzurri's Curva Nord fan group have decided to boycot August football matches.
Those who were there, however, did not waste time, and were quickly into launching the traditional "Serie B, Serie B" chant toward the Juve fans.
The loudest and most populated group was the black-and-white one. The Rossoneri fans were the last ones to arrive. Apparently the first clash, between their 'cousins' Inter and traditional rivals Juventus, was not quite considered appealing enough.
Those who were present during the first 'mini-match' (each lasted 45 minutes), however, predictably did not spare Zanetti and company the usual boos and whistles. The insults directed at the Bianconeri, meanwhile, began just before the second match, which saw Milan beat Juventus 1-0.
All in all, it was a case of the Milan and Juve fans both taking on Inter, and the Inter fans happy to take on both the sets as well. The good bit, of course, is that nothing turned nasty!
