An air of déjà vu. The Italian Football Federation announced on Monday (September 5th) that it had opened an investigation after supporters of Juventus Turin and Inter Milan uttered anti-Semitic chants on Saturday in Serie A.

A video posted on Twitter shows a group of Inter supporters chanting “the champions of Italy are Jews“, just before the kick-off of the Milan derby which took place on Saturday at the San Siro.”What a shame“, reacted AC Milan by relaying the extract on its account, after a meeting enamelled with violence between groups of ultras.

A similar video, this time involving fans of Juventus, who played on the lawn of Fiorentina, also circulated on the networks. “The ‘Viola’ (nickname of Fiorentina, editor’s note) ain’t italian, it’s a bunch of jews“, can we hear.
