The travelling supporters – led by the Curva Sud – sang the historic chant for Gattuso just before the game on Saturday. The former midfielder responded by showing his appreciation for the affection from the Milanisti.
On the field the game was an entertaining spectacle, with Lazio very impressive in the first half before Milan’s second-half fightback, one that was spearheaded by the summer signing Diego Moreira. A 2-2 draw was the end result, and Gattuso admitted that the Rossoneri could have snatched it.
