📸 Genoa taunt Samp with savage banner after their Serie C drop 🤯
It's well known that the rivalry between Genoa and Sampdoria is one of the fiercest in Italy, and every opportunity becomes fertile ground for provocations. This time, it's the rossoblù fans who strike, taking advantage of the historic—and sensational—relegation of their blucerchiati cousins to Serie C, the first in their history. After days of mockery spread throughout Genoa, Genoa's supporters raised the stakes. Just before kickoff against Atalanta, a banner appeared in the Gradinata Nord aimed at the Samp crowd: 'Manfredi and Radrizzani, thank you.' The sarcastic reference is to a message displayed by Sampdoria supporters two years ago, when the arrival of Matteo Manfredi and Andrea Radrizzani was greeted with enthusiasm. At the time, in the South stand, a banner read: 'Manfredi and Radrizzani, thank you from all Sampdoria fans,' a symbol of hope and trust in the new direction. Today, after a disastrous season and a bitter relegation, Genoa's rivals have decided to return the 'thanks,' but with an unmistakably mocking tone.
